You can make one strike ignite charred punk wood, consistently. Start off with the best punkwood, char it in a tin with a large vent hole, and then follow the standard charring procedure. Please find much more detailed charring tutorials in the playlist below. Today, I used Water Oak punkwood that was lightweight and spongy. I used my normal Murrey's Hairdressing cans with the 1/4" vent holes. I cooked the tin in the flames of the fire not the coals and took it out when the gases stopped coming out. After cooling, I one strike ignited some of the char from all 3 char tins. The second ignition took 2 strikes because the first strike produced no sparks. Please follow the LINKs below and SUBSCRIBE.

We live in the opposite climate you do. We're in the Mojave Desert, the low desert. We get some of the hottest temperatures in the country. It's 110 right now. We also get less than 5" of rain a year. Everything is dry and brittle. Nothing is spongy! We also don't have any trees. But there is enough dry scrub to get a fire started.
Hello David I got my bayite Ferro rods today and I'm more than happy with them I got the 1/2 buy 5 inch thank for all the info you provide great video God bless
Thanks for another good video, I am really learning alot of useful knowledge, I never knew how many different ways a fire can be started. Really interesting, thanks.
I'm subbed to your channel and I learn a lot thanks for the info, but I have to say in order for you to make char cloth or char punky wood you have to first make a fire, many people don't know how to make a fire without modern lighting devices, so they should keep a 2$ lighter handy.
Really enjoy the various methods you demonstrate. After hearing you mention a while back about the moisture absorption I started saving the little desiccant packs and placing them in my containers to see if that would help preserve the char and char cloth.
To see if it's working put char in a jar, let it get room temperature or warmer, and put in freezer for a few minutes. The condensate will immediately start forming on the inside walls of the jar, if it's present.

"wood-shaped air" I love it!
So many people don't catch my "tongue - in - cheek" way of describing things.
One thing I'll say about David, the man can sure start a fire !
Wow... that was flint and steel 1 strike ignite 3 times in a row..!!! That's impressive even by our standards sir..!!! Sheesh.. simper-fi sir..!!! Respect
I love it when a plan comes together.

Sounds like hand drill climate to me.

David, are you using a file striker and flint rock sparker? Glad I found you today and thanks for passing the knowledge.
Yes. TY!
Is there a way to make charred punk wood without a tin?
Yes, that LINK is in the Description and at the end of the video.
Have you ever been diagnosed with pyromania?
No, but I have been accused of it.
