Must have for every survivalist. Flint & Steel is a fire starter skill that must be learned. It is much easier than rubbing two sticks together or trying to find two rocks that create a spark when banged together. Simply gather very dry and flammable material (dry grass, dry moss, tree bark dust, other), then scrape the steel blade on the flint rod and throw sparks into your dry bundle until in ignites. You have now created fire!
