For me bushcraft is all about the natural world and so when it comes to fire lighting I prefer natural tinders. But it makes sense to carry a few things with you that will allow you to light a fire quickly should the need arise. So here’s a short video of me making cotton wool fire lighters inpregnated with wax.
We discuss making cotton wool fire lighters, as well as manmade tinders, natural tinders and firelighting on our 2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Coursesand the IOL Bushcraft Competency Certificate.
