OK this will most likley be a dumb question BUT!!!!
what makes a good steel for throwing sparks from flint?
And would an old file do the job ok? Never thought of useing one before comming on the fourms here as I always carry a couple of lighters when I used to head out
I collected some Horsehoof fungi when I was out the road on sunday and cut some up got it to smolder real good useing a Magnesum (spelling sucks) stick and the back of my knife But realy want to try with flint and steel .
Need to head to the beach now so I can find some flint I think.
Cheers
