I usually dig a pit if it's windy and then make a wind break, but duct tape sounds easier! <br /><br />Cheers, CWRocky Mountain Bushcrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937550302603041228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994509998330113425.post-86801594269721122912011-12-22T20:34:20.468-07:002011-12-22T20:34:20.468-07:00Very cool post, Jason.

Still have it - the knife and the sheath are in pretty good shape, albeit very worn.<br /><br />Their were no ferrocerium or mischmetal rods of any importance back in the 80s. Those magnesium bars were about it. I very early learned the trick of shaving the magnesium onto the sticky side of a strip of 100 MPH duct tape. It kept it from blowing around and made firestarting much easier.Crcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720406997712147988noreply@blogger.com
