Wilma's of Sweden Incendo-Char cloth

Product description

Making a fire with traditional fire steel is a fantastic and easy way to make a campfire in a historic way.

Carbonised cloth has an excellent ability to catch sparks from fire steel and then glows with high heat, making it quick and easy to make fire.

Carbon cloth used to be used mainly by the nobility and the slightly more affluent in the 18th and 18th centuries, where carbon cloth was given a special place on the mantelpiece. For ordinary people, cotton cloth was too valuable to make carbon cloth from.

When a fire steel hits a sharp piece of flint, it gives off a burst of sparks that then ignite the carbon cloth which then starts to glow.

Then place the glowing charcoal cloth in a bundle of dry grass, twigs or fluffy jute rope and blow until it flares up.

This way of making fire is an excellent skill to learn as an alternative to modern methods. It is very satisfying to make a fire as before and once you start it, it soon feels like the best way to make fire in nature. Simple, historic and truly ...

Incendo is used together with our Eldstål or as a refill for our Elddon and contains about 8 dm² of carbon fabric. This is enough for 60-70 bonfires or cooking fires
