Out with my boy – Simple fire-making

Out with my boy – Simple fire-making

fire_01How I do love spending outdoor time with my son. I know he thoroughly enjoys this special time too. We’re always out in the sticks somewhere, always foraging for something and doing things that a lot of children do far too less nowadays. This time we were down by the river Rhine, very close to where we live.

We started off making a thermos flask of hazel catkin tea, that we had picked ourselves. Along with the tea we took some apples and some dry sausages, a knife and a Swedish fire steel (the Kind of spark generating steel used in army survival bags). You strike the steel with the back of your knife or with a small steel striker to create sparks to light tinder.

So on our way to the river, we collected tinder and dry sticks. That wasn’t so easy because it had been raining during the night, so we had to look carefully for dry stuff. The usable wood we found was dead wood still hanging in trees and shrubs, as this is usually a bit protected by the tree’s crowns, it dries faster and doesn’t absorb the damp from the ground.

We had a great time together finding a reasonably dry place to stay, then lighting the tinder and carefully adding sticks to the fire. Of course a highlight was sitting by the fire and roasting our dry meat sausages, with a cup of catkin tea in the other hand to sip on.
