...Ey up firebugs !
.
...I while back I demonstrated how you could use a titanium tent peg & create sparks with it by bashing it against a high silicate stone. After making the post my buddy Dustin @bushcrattools asked if it would work with a titanium spork too so I got a spork & gave it a go.
.
...For those who aren't aware titanium is a pyrophoric metal which in its simplest explanation means it will spark when struck against a high silicate stone like this quartzite pebble. Combine this with some flash tinder like thistle down, cattail seed head or in this case kapok & you've got fire.
.
...Enjoy your week everyone, stay safe and I'll catch ya soon.
