    Creek, many years ago My wife Judy and I met you in Anderson. You and I had a great conversation regarding flint and steel fire starting. My wife died Nov 8 2020. She remembered meeting you and how nice you are.
    I carry charred cloth and charred punk. The punk is my favorite because the woods are full of the stuff. The right kind of punk will catch a spark without being charred but the stuff is hard to find so I char my punk. Cottonwood and pine punk have caught sparks for me without being charred beforehand. A gentleman from Australia taught me so much about using punk that I was and still am amazed. I'm 70 years old now but survival and bushcraft never gets old.

    You have a gift for speaking, teaching and making someone want to listen. A manner that knows how to engage a student, a learner or any audience. Sadly the best intentioned people, teachers and professor's in our best schools and universities lack this ability, which in my opinion is essential for learning to take place.

    I always learn something from your videos. This time, it's the trick of keeping the flint edged up. Thanks for all the refinements of the techniques you share.

    Excellent demonstration! I love flint and steel, there’s just something about it, that takes you back to a method that is tried and true from the days of old, that is still just as effective in this modern day.

    Awesome, nice job. I still have a hard time with this technique, but will keep trying. Thank you for the tips.

    My scout master was amazed that I set up and started a camping grill without needing a lighter, using my Ferro rod, and he said "are you just prepared to get lost all the time??" I was proud to answer with a yes.

    Great video thanks. I also want to thank you for saving me, I quit drinking after over 20 years of drinking every day, I was struggling with figuring out how I was going to live sober. One sleepless night I was flipping through the channels on tv and I came across fat guys in the woods, it immediately reminded me of my love for the woods and the woodsman I was before alcohol I have been sober over 5 years now and bush-crafting regularly. Sincerely thank you

      When we get separated from nature, it's easy to get TRULY lost! Congratulations to you, and thanks to Creek!

    Creek, please tell us what do you keep in that little pouch on your chest? Is it a mini-kit for fire starting?

    Thanks very informative video. Thats a good piece of flint rock you have. Question, can one over-char their cloth? Like put it in the fire come back few hours later? Thanks

      From my experience, because i may have left the material "simmer" too long, ( maybe 20 miutes to a half hour after the smoke clears )that it becomes very brittle. Like it wouldnt take too much for it to pull apart. The size of the material appeared to have shrunken. Maybe a result of the charring process. It would be a good experiment to try. Your mileage may vary from my few experiences.
