A quick video on igniting char cloth, including with traditional flint & steel, fire steel, parabolic mirror, fire piston and a lens. Of course, it doesn’t have to be char cloth, it could quite as easily be other charred material such as birch polypore or punkwood.
You might also want to take a look at this video on making char cloth.
We cover igniting char on many of our bushcraft courses such as on our 2 Day Bushcraft Course, 5 Day Bushcraft Course and IOL Bushcraft Competency course.
You can see plenty of photos from these courses, as well as all of our others, on our Facebook page.
