False Fire Tinder Punk wood Empty Bic

[fireoflife]

Spent some time in the woods today playing with fire and making some videos. For this video I was using conk felt or false fire tinder, punk wood as a coal extender dried field grass for the tinder bundle and one empty modified Bic lighter. With all the snow and cold temps then a slight thaw with freezing drizzle then back to below 32 degrees made conditions difficult at best. Walking was very slow and hazardous you had to pick and chose each step or down you go with a thud. Also made starting a fire kind of a challenge  and collecting tinder was hit and miss...more wet then dry or frozen. Truth is I love the challenge of getting a fire going in adverse conditions...it truly makes me hot lol
