Using bluebells for fire lighting


If you’ve been to our ancient woodland camp in springtime, you will have seen the absolute abundance we have of native bluebells.  Often, however, people don’t realise that they’re a great resource for fire lighting.

So in this short video I show you how to use bluebells in a tinder bundle to light a fire.

We teach using bluebells for fire lighting 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.
