Fire making at winter (badge request)
on: January 12, 2025, 11:11:39 AM
I challenge my self to make fire using nothing but my multitool and the small ferro rod and fire helix tinder in it. The ground is snow covered, so there is no way I'm going to find any twigs to get the fire started.

It took me two tries and two helix tinders to get the fire going.  Good to know that that those are not just expensive gimmicks. Helix took a spark really fast burned quite a long time. I carrie both ferro rod and helix tinder every day with me, but haven't really put those to the test.

And know when my frozen fingers are melted I can share with you my other fire making equipments.

  Nice photos.  I wondered why you brought so many weenies (sausages), but then I thought about the big wolfy dog.  That answered that question.  Best wishes.  G

Thanks Gary, but I don't think I need to accumulate several badges from one posting.  It's much more fun this way. Outdoor cooking badge is sure coming soon.
