windy1965 Thanks Neil. The rope I found at the local DIY was around £3-£5 for 12.5m. There doesn't seem to be a huge number of places that sell it these days. Most of them sell the nylon type. Should be able to find it somewhere though :)
Jute was one of the masses of cordage we used to have as kids just starting out, mostly what other people considered rubbish (old shoe laces, parcel string ect.). Still keep a bag of cordage others would throw away and take out jute, both come in handy!
Mint Outdoors It works well. I used to use it to light my pipe while in the woods. Using a modern firesteel to ignite it of course, rather than charcloth, flint and steel :)
Great tips there Adam. I found your channel through Jeff Mint Outdoors . I carry jute twine in my kit along with various other Tinder's both man made and natural. I am yet to try traditional flint and steel but would like to give it a try along with other methods like bow drill. Great channel have subbed you. Atb Steve.
Steves Outdoors NE Thanks Steve. It is fun to use traditional and primitive methods from time to time. I'm not that great with the fire bow, so should really practice a bit more. It's always good to carry various tinders, as well as learning which ones you can find in your local areas (for the natural ones that is). Subbed you back. Will check out some of your videos when I get the chance buddy.
What a super Video, I love Fire and Steel fire lighting.
Nice one Adam. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to look out for some of that jute rope on my next visit to the diy store. Take care & all the best, Neil.

Great idea with the candle wax Adam, makes the jute burn much slower. I shall have to make some of that for my kit ;)

Adam Savage Just thinking about the use of wax on twine. I am going to try petroleum jelly to coat some twine and give that a go.
Steves Outdoors NE Not tried that. I should work though, seeing as it works very well on cotton wool.
