In my article The Survival Bread I demonstrated how bread can be made from rasped tree bark
.
Later it turned out that the flour / rasp was excellent as tinder. Then, some while ago I made The Torch by wrapping waxed cloth around a stick.
I had some leftovers from said cloth and had the idea to put the tinder on the cloth to see what happened: Turned out that the combination of both is a really good fire starter!

Rasp tinder + waxed cloth = Total Success! |
In the picture: DIY tinder rasp, rasp, was cloth and a flint striker. |
The wax cloth fulfils two functions: a) It keeps the tinder dry from the moist ground b) It keeps the tinder burning for up to ten minutes |
Here I make tree flour / tinder with the tinder rasp. The rasp will be collected in the jam jar. |
How the lid looks like: Check my article The Survival Bread on how I made it. |
That`s a whole bunch of tinder / flour! |
Enough talk! Let`s set fire to it! |
Works every time! |
After 5 minutes: Lots of time to carefully feed the fire. |
