Tinder Bundle Trials

All else being equal the quality and type of your tinder can make a difference as to whether you get a fire or not, so I decided to compare some, by no means an exhaustive list and it will be added to as I use other types Flax tinder with a cattail extender,ember source was amadou lit by flint and steel, this produced a lot of smoke and took longer than usual to ignite.. ﻿Still, it did eventually ignite Flax extender with dry grass bundle and amadou again, This worked quite well and was certainly easier to get to flame than the previous﻿ one ﻿Next was buffed dry grass on it's own with no extender, ﻿No problems here,it worked very well Next I started to broaden the horizons and use tinder I found on the day and an extender I'd brought, so dried (sort of) cleavers and cattail extender ﻿No problems at all,it worked very well. lastly tinder I found around me on the day﻿,dryish bracken extender and dryish cleavers, and believe it or not it was probably the easiest﻿ to blow to flame on the day, I was quite surprised by this but I do believe it had a lot to do with the available oxygen around the larger tinder enabling it to take flame much easier...we live and learn..more experimentation will come in the fututre.
