oooooookay.

I got a nice 2 pound, 12 ounce flint two weeks ago and I really like it. I broke off a piece the size of my thumb to give to my friend. The piece he had for his flint and steel kit was sharp but thin and small, and broke so easily that he would soon have too little to strike a spark.

I will probably break up the flint into pieces smaller pieces and get some sections of 1/4" steel stock to make up some firemaking kits for the scouts. I made a mass of charcloth the other day, too. Now all I have to do is get hold of some oakum, although I could make do with some shredded/untwisted sisal.

That third person thing weirds me out. Let me know when you're all done.
