Hi,
I work in living history mainly dealing with Primary school children but in a couple of weeks we have some sixth formers for the day and I have been asked to cover fire lighting.
They are studying early dark ages so we are looking at Viking/Saxon period and whilst I am a dab hand with flint and steel using char cloth I am not sure it is too authentic and was looking at getting hold of some more authentic tinder.
I was wondering if anyone had any small pieces of amadou or any cramp fungi I could use.
Many thanks in advance.
Keith
