Re: Forum Wide Challenge - fire starting

Started fire with a ferro-rod and a piece of toilet paper.
I was surprised that it didn't take on the first 'strike' as the fero rod produced a great spray of sparks. It took about 10 strikes before one of the sparks caught.
Just a note: Fero-rods wear away, a lot faster than some people think. Many part-time outdoors people (and by that I mean people with a day job who only get out into the wilderness at the weekends and holidays) have worn away multiple fero-rods at their hobby.
One ferro-rod will not last you for years after TEOTWAWKI
