Ray Mears shows the proper way to start a fire with the Swedish Firesteel
June 22nd, 2008 by braddock
Okay, Ray has much more experience with the Swedish Firesteel than I…and it shows. What takes me about ten strikes he does in one.
He’s using birch bark for tinder instead of dryer lint too. It would probably be a little hard to find dryer lint if you tipped your canoe in a freezing river somewhere in the Canadian wilderness.
This is just a little embarrassing; I’m going to practice my technique right now.
