Grabber Nabbers: & The Hot Char Cloth Tin....

Step by Step Sure Way to Make Char Cloth & Build a Fire When You Need It.


1. Making Char Cloth "Make Sure You Use Your Trusty Grabber Nabbers"

  • Example, Altoids Tin
  • Put Some Holes Thru the Top of it
  • Put Inside 100% Cotton
  • Close Lid
  • Let Cook Over Fire Until smoke from Tin is Gone.  "Dont Worry About Over Cooking Unless You Cook It Forever"
  • Use Your Grabber Nabbers, To Pull Out Of Fire And Cool
  • Wait A Few Minutes Open The Tin & You Have Char Cloth Ready To Use


2.Finding & Building The "Tinder Bundle" or "Birds Nest" 




  • In the Video We  Used Surrounding Timber and Accessories 
  • Shaggy Bark Cedar was Available and We used This For a "Birds Nest"
  • We crumpled up the stripe of shaggy bark cedar between out hands and made the "Tinder Bundle"



3.Next Building The Fire:







  • We Have The Tinder Bundle Then
  • Put the Char Cloth  Into The Tinder Box AKA Birds Nest
  • Now Get A Stike With Flint and Steel
  • Stike Sparks Above Char Cloth
  • Once Char Cloth Is Lit Wrap Tinder Around it
  • Blow Softly Into Bundle "Soft And Steady"
  • Smoke is noticable,
  • Finally, POOOF
  • You Have Fire 
  • Use This Small Fire For Setting Your Bigger Fire.
