hello,
I was chatting to a BCUSA member on the subject of Iron Pyrites offline. I was very lucky sometime ago to find a small pebble sized piece of iron pyrites near to where I decided to Basha up & used such with a shard of flint to light my fire. I scoured the nearby area including sifting through the pebbles near to the spring I collected my water from to no avail. I found a YouTube link Ray Mears uses the very same method in fire lighting only with a larger nodule. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaHNWaBmNJU I haven't found any iron pyrites or as Ray Mears description of such as dinosaur or dragons blood. Does any NBCUK forum member know where I could obtain a piece of this red coloured stone for my fire kit?
Regards
David
