The inner bark of sweet chestnut is a fantastic tinder that can be lit with various ignition sources or used as a tinder bundle. We’re fortunate in Kent to find it in abundance.
In this short video I show you how to collect and prepare it for use.
We teach collecting and using sweet chestnut inner bark as a 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.
