    Which fabric did you use Jeep? Most folk I know use cotton tea towels/dish cloths.

    However, I have always used denim and found it to be excellent and always takes even the vaguest of sparks.

    I used pure linen fabric. I have a lot of that, from making undergarments for my medieval re-enactment clothing.

    Wen't for an evening stroll having a look at the neighboorhood, pine cones and found a good piece of quartz to use with my fire striker...

    The one time I have made that, I used a 100% cotton t-shirt. Worked fine, and managed to catch a spark from striking a pice of quartz.

    Took the Cub group on a woodland walk. Covered tree identification as well as other plant I.D. Introduced them to three cornered leek, cleavers and ramsons which went down well with one of the parents who now wants to put it in with his salads. Found some old woodpecker nests and deer tracks and generally had a very good evening.

    Did you find the Three Cornered Leek growing wild here?

    Yep, loads of it around. Thinking about it there was probably more of the three cornered leek than the ramsons in the woodland we were walking in which seems a little odd as this time last year it was the other way round.

    Thanks for that. It's interesting to see that a relatively newly introduced species is "outdoing" a much more established species.

    Thanks again.
