How to start a fire with a traditional flint?
When lighting a fire with a traditional flint, one of the key issues is choosing the right dry hub . The trapper's kit includes several types of the most popular and effective hubs. This allows you to experiment freely, try many different solutions and choose the most suitable kindling for you.
In order for the hub to catch the spark, it should be measured from the top of the flint in such a way that the edges of the material and the flint meet. Then, striking the edge of the flint with a blacksmith's flint from above, you create sparks that will fall on the hub, creating the seeds of embers. It is then sufficient to gently blow the resulting embers and, after obtaining the right amount and temperature, transfer them to the previously prepared kindling proper, such as dry grass, jute twine, hemp fibers, etc. and without interrupting the blowing start a fire, which is then placed in the bonfire.
The trapper set with a traditional flint is recommended to all lovers of bushcraft, survival, and all who want to feel for themselves how in ancient times they dealt with lighting a fire, which often determined life. The set will fit perfectly into the equipment of anyone who enjoys spending time in nature.
