How to Start a Fire with Flint, Steel, and a Glass

In this video I display my process for fire starting with historic technology. Whether you are hunting, camping, trekking, or practicing survival, these fire starting techniques are classic and can come in handy in a pinch. In this presentation I use flint, steel, char cloth, charred punk, and a burning glass to show you how I apply my historical research in order to make fire.

DISCLAIMER: This was in my backyard in suburbia so there are a few quality issues due to traffic noise and the need for tighter shots in order to avoid background contamination. I wanted to get a follow-up out sooner rather than later.

This is my first real "how to" video so bear with me as I try out some new things and work to get the process better. There will be more of these in the future. As always thanks to Deke Wiggins for the original music.
