Today I’m presenting to you a method of fire lighting, using flint, steel and some horseshoe amadou.
Not so far from where I live there’s a marl cave. There is an abundance of flint in those caves.
The firesteel or steel striker is made by Launditch who I met on BushcraftUK.com.
The horseshoe amadou I collected and prepared myself. I’ll explain in detail how I did this in a future post, but in basically you collect the horseshoe fungus, cut out the amadou, cut it into slices, boil it in water with ashes, flatten it with a baton and let it dry.
