Cutting and Preparation: Cut small squares of cotton fabric and place them inside the fireproof container.
Charring: Seal the container and place it in a fire or over a flame. The fabric inside will smolder but not ignite.
Collection: After smoldering, the fabric is removed and allowed to cool. It is now char cloth, which can catch a spark and ignite easily.
Highly Ignitable: Char cloth catches sparks from a flint and steel or other fire starters very easily, making it an effective fire-starting aid.
Long Shelf Life: Properly stored char cloth can last a long time, providing a reliable fire-starting option even in emergencies.
Compact and Lightweight: Char cloth is small and lightweight, making it a valuable addition to your camping or survival kit.
Wind and Waterproof: It’s resistant to wind and water, ensuring it can be used in various weather conditions.
Versatile: Char cloth can be used with various fire-starting methods, including flint and steel, ferrocerium rods, or even traditional fire-starting techniques.
