Damn. I been trying to light unprocessed amadou to no success. What a great idea to use ash. David West puts it on everything and it works. Thanks for the idea.

Dave Canterbury did this, without the fire ash, and it took with flint and steel little treating. In saying that, it took many strikes before he got the amadou to take.

When your charred punk wood looks like this, it takes 1 to a few strikes to get it going(best type of charred punk wood)... When you char enough, you will know what to look for, more so what kind of punkwood to look for before you char it.

Thank you for this good method. I want to try it!

Olen tehnyt tämän hieman samalla tavalla. Taula ei vaadi tuhkalipeässä liottamista, mutta tarvii olla tosi ohutta, ja kuivaa...ja tosiaan ei ota kipinää ilman, että hieroo tuhkaa siihen. Vedessä liottamalla sen saa helpommin venutettua ohueksi.

Nice demonstration of the amadou and the method of using the charred material this way. Why did you dump ALL your charred punkwood into the first fire? I usually make a tinder bundle, which once I get it ignited from my charred material, place it alone into my fire lay, preserving the charred material for additional ignitions. Just curious if there is a reason to do what you've done.

Thanks😊 Since my tinder bundle was birch bark I wanted a bigger and hotter ember. I later charred more punkwood in that same fire.

As you can see in the video it works fine. I let it dry for two hours🔥

Amazing how deceiving your caption is. You didnt do it all with just the horse hoof

I like the size of your fire steel. Would you mind telling me where I can get one?

Hej! Jag undrar om fnösktickan förlorar sin elasticitet när den blir torr. Kan man sträcka ut den som du gör i videon även när den blir torr? Spelar det någon roll när man tänder den om den är färskplockad eller torkad?

@mattiasnorberg

Funkar det inte så bra när den är torr kan du fukta den lite. Använder du färsk ticka kan du låta den torka någon timme innan du använder den.

Är åldern på tickan av betydelse för att det ska glöda när man inte lägger i askbad?

För att kunna dra och sträcka ut tickan bör den inte vara äldre än en 3-4 år och gärna ha en stor bula högst uppe.

It looks to me like you treated that horse hoof fungus with fresh smoldering ashes. So really it’s not good to use for your initiating an ember for your first fire but more useful for your second Fire.

Dude, hold the stone and strike with the steel. You will cut your knuckles off striking with the stone. You throw the spark down off the steel. Not aim for blood!

Thanks for your concern😊 And of course you must be careful with this method. Some tinders can't be held on top of the flint making this method a functional option. In my almost 40 years doing this I haven't yet hit my knuckles😏

Hold the flint over the cup, and strike down with the steel throwing the steel spark down into the cup. I always make sure the steel is roughed up good so that big chips of the steel fly down hot.
