Basic Flint and Steel Fire Starter Kits
DragonsBreath.jpg

These are proving very popular!
Simple, functional and of a design based on archeological finds.

(Contains no actual Dragon. Less than 1% fat. Made in an environment that definately contains nuts - me!)
Colours sizes and shapes vary - this is just a typical set!
New stock made 13 kits available.
PM me for more info and to order.

AXE HANGERS.
Solid brass rings on hand sewn, double thread, saddle stitched belt loops.

Welsh Bushcrafter Leather Pouches.
Although these pouches are made less than a dozen miles from where legend has it that the last dragon in Wales was killed there is no truth in the tale that they are made from BRIMSTONE TANNED DRAGON HIDE.
In fact they are made from recycled, garment quality, leathers of various grades and finishes, by an under-employed Bushcrafter of a British ethnic origin, in a workroom almost in view of where King Arthurs sons are said to have died during the hunt of the Great Black Boar.
The purchase price of the leather goes directly to charity

The sizes are as before - and the quality is the same as well!
Size 1 - Flat, D shaped 7x5 inches
Size 2 - 2.5 x 2.5 x 8 inches
Size3 - 3 x 3 x 10 inches
Size 4 - 3.5 x 3.5 x 11 inches
Size 5 - 4 x 4 x 12 inches.

John,
Kits arrived this morning and within 5 minutes of practice to get correct technique had a result with the charcloth. They are superb value for money and fun to use. Many thanks.

"Dragons' Breath" (as you all have started calling them)

John,
I really, really, really want you to start calling these your "Junior Arsonists Kits".:cool:

Thanks to your inspiration, I've been breaking up some old files and having a whole lot of fun - even making a fire in the sleet the other day!

Using these kits is kind of addictive....but I did not name them - it was forum members!
Now I need to see my man about some more steel!

Yay for Dragons Breath kits, I received mine today (thanks John) and got the char cloth going almost straight away!

The technique for striking is totally different to a ferro rod but the sparks you get are a lot more impressive IMO.

Thank you one again, it's fantastic :D:D:D

Glad you like it!
More stock will be made as soon as I can get more steel of the right kind, enough leather of the right kind, more polypore and some time to work them all into working kits.
The way things are looking (I just had my accountant tell me that I am almost selling these at a loss!) I will have to put the price up a bit for the next lot.......:(

Got my Dragon breath kit today (just in time for the weekend). Got sparks on the third attempt, sparks and sound on the fifth and lit charcloth on the sixth...ace.

This will be part of my kit that I take to Cub camp in June to convert 'em into junior pyros!!

Thanks again.
