Hey, check out my post on Making Better Char Cloth over at the Utah Preppers site–some good information for firestarting, and something you might want included in your emergency kits especially if you have a striker type firestarting tool (flint/steel, etc.) you plan on using.
Keep preparing! Angela

I saw a Les Stroud special where he talked about char cloth. I'll have to go see your post.
Finally bought my own fire-starter and need to learn how to use it more effectively. Thanks for this info. I'd never heard of char cloth before.
