Perhaps Santa Claus can bring us a Forgotten Flint Mine, Sax....I'm of Isle of Man descent, Rune, so Viking is in my Blood...I've always been intrigued as to how successful the Northern Europeans have been, plus, Where did they get the materials to Survive as Travellers ?....So Well...

The materials?

@ Fishy Folk: Now that is an impressively comprehensive fire kit!! I hear ya on Friction Fire. Created some coals with a couple different bow drill sets, have a bunch of bow and hand drill spindles waiting to be used, but yeah, haven't spent the time to master. Hmmm, five strikes or less on flint or ferro... or five minutes on a bow drill... lol. That winter forest pic is just stunning! Thanks for sharing.

@ Dreward: As it seems you have already discovered, I have posted some info on flint here:

You may not yet have noticed that I posted some info on strikers here:

@ Saxonaxe: No worries. I'm still busy catching up on all the threads. There looks to be quite a lot of info here. Exciting.

@ Jus_young: Why thank you. Hopefully when all is said and done, the time spent was both profitable and enjoyable for all.

Heh, the fire kit was created just by cuiosity and youtube is to blame. Just wanted to try all the stuff I saw there on fire lighting, and dumped things in the bag if it worked. Some of it was also given to me by friends :-)
