  • How to use dandelion tinder to make a fire

    mods & owner, since i'm the new person here i'm still not sure where everything goes.
    Need to make a survival fire, but don't have any matches and your lighter is out of fluid. Fear not, this how-to video can help. An empty flintwheel lighter can save the day when you need a fire. Dandelion seed puffs can be the perfect tinder for your spark. Watch this video tutorial to see how it works & learn a great survival tip.


    Doing my best to win this contest contest:):D:cool:

      Thanks Firefox! I have an old lock that I've kept for years after losing the combination. This is going to be fun trying this system out!

        Good to know when the fuel runs out.

          This is good and it does work ok, but it sure burns quickly, and not so well if htere is high humidity. Cattail fluff works better as a quick natural tinder, but they both need to supplemented with something that will hold a flame longer. You could pair them with dried grass, goatsbeard lichen, spanish moss or something simular.
          Survival question. What do I need most, right now?
