Benefits Of Flint And Steel Fire Starter Kit

By Stephanie Thomas


This is what was used before the invention of the match stick and match box. The kit usually comprises of fire steel, char cloth tinder, flint, a tinder box and a bundle of jute twin kindling. People all over the continent have been making fire with the help of this tools. They normally come in different forms and there is no ideal kit. Flint and steel fire starter kit was a game changer. There many people who are normally interested. This includes the hunters and also those in historical reenactment. They are also most common in camping.

The best kit is usually handmade. This is because they are made with precision as compared to those that are manufactured. They are forged to be of high quality. Natural materials are used this can be termed as genuine analogues to those that were used in the past. This was when fire was not actually made from matches.

The hard edge was usually strucked against iron pyrite. With more practice this technic of starting power has been able to produce flames faster than primitive methods. This includes the hand drills and bow drills. It should however be noted that the kit is not the same as Ferro cerium. This is a man-made metallic material which burns at a higher temperature. While it has been successfully ignited by dry grass with Ferro cerium, only some types of the tinder will be ignited with rock.

The question many are asking is how one is able to ignite flints stone with steels. The ignition temperature is important. This is the minimal temperate that is required for the material to burn. The temperature is controlled by certain properties of that article. This includes the density, volume, humidity and surface area. The process of noticeable increases the surface area of the steels and also lowers its surface area.

When one is in the woods, having knowledge is very important. A bundle which includes a tinderbox containing versatile tinder would prove to be useful lifesaver in many situations. With the continuing need to know how to make blaze in all conditions this kits are rarely found.

This is because of the main tools in use. This has been used since the dawn of days. They have been used to make tools. While there have been no records of when the flints stone was first used to make blaze. It is a mineral that was used a wide range of ways in the modern world.

When compared to the modern method of making blaze the use of this method one can take it that it is a rather hard method of starting a blaze. Rather it requires a lot of practice for one to be good at it. Nevertheless, humans have the tendency to improve the ideas and inventions of our forebears. That is why when our fore fathers found out that while hitting steels in factories there is production of sparks. They since used this to produced blaze.

This however cannot be used when alone. One must use a material that is easily flammable the most commonly used material is a tinder though different naturally occurring substances can be used. Tinder can be well defined as a substance that can be able to take a spark and produce a flint blaze starter.
