Char Cloth

By: Posted On: 2009-12-14

First, for those of you who do not know, char cloth is basically baked cotton cloth to be used as tinder in lighting a fire. This is traditional method for flint and steel. In a upcoming video I am actually going to try making my own char cloth. Here is a nice article I found on the process https://bushcraftusa.com/forum/threads/char-cloth-easy-to-make-harder-to-use.228360/
