A Woodsrunners Diary

For those of you that participate in historical trekking, if you have not already done so, it is time for you to move on from using charred cloth as a tinder. Charred cloth (tow rag) was used in the home in towns & cities, but it was not used in the woods & forests. There are many types of plant tinders available, & I will be covering them later.






My tinderbox.


My early style English fire steel.


My greased leather fire bag that contains my tinderbox.


My gunpowder wallet. When not carrying extra gunpowder, this contains spare plant tinder material.
