Collecting hornbeam bark to use as tinder


A couple of days ago I was in the woods collecting hornbeam bark to use as tinder and decided to put together a short video showing how I go about that.  To get to the hornbeam bark that was in the right condition, I needed to prune a branch first.

We teach collecting hornbeam bark to use as tinder on our 2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses as well as the IOL Bushcraft Competency Course.

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