Downy flower heads as a tinder


After mistakenly telling everyone last week that I’d done a video previously on using downy flower heads as a tinder, and then realising that I hadn’t, here’s one!

I talk about how downy flower heads are best used as a tinder and also show a few different ones that you can find in the British Isles.

We teach how to prepare and use downy flower heads as a tinder on our 2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses, the IOL Bushcraft Competency Course and also our 2 Day & 5 Day Survival Courses

You can see plenty of photos from all of these courses on our Facebook page.
