DIY: How to make Char Cloth

A while ago I linked to a video on using firesteels to start a fire. A good way to catch the spark is char cloth.

It doesn’t take much to make the char cloth and it is good to have on hand for emergency tinder.

All you need to do is burn the cloth in a container where very little oxygen can get access.

Take a look at the following video and give it a try. As always, be careful and know what you’re doing. I can’t take responsibility for personal injury (however unlikely).
