Making Char cloth
by FrontierGander 23/5/2023, 6:09 pm
At rendezvous, I was running extremely low on char cloth, so I took some of my 100% cotton clothpatching material, cut it into strips and then 1 1/2" squares. I place them into a sealed tin with a small hole punched in the top. Set it onto a bed of hot coals and when the smoke from the hole stopped coming out, it was ready! Takes a spark easily and the large piece of char cloth makes for easy fire starting.

What Jonathan explained is the normal and easiest way to make char-cloth.
You'll read others making an attempt at doing this chore that's 10 times more difficult than it should be. Thanks, Jonathan for the post.
