One more reason to keep empty Bic's and learn all you can about tree fungus. All that is needed is to remove the metal housing from the top of the lighter. This way you can get up close to the spark source. The spark from a Bic is weak so you need to keep the tinder as close as possible and continue striking until enough heat has built up and you have your amber. What makes this special is the natural tinder's ability to catch a spark without any type of prepping. Just find it, cut it, dry it if it's wet if not just brake off a piece and go at it  |

Can those be dried and stored? Yes they sure can, kept dry they should last a long time. The outer shell has to be removed to expose the cork like material inside. It can be tricky with a knife just be careful. I'm using my band saw for now...why not , but have also used my knife....thanks for posting  |
