>>64577>smallest breeze causing problems>find some tinder>matches are backupA weekend warrior I see. That's okay, we all start from somewhere.
>smallest breeze causing problemsUse longer strokes so the shavings are longer and heavier. Make a wind break. Shave the shavings into something before putting them into the tinder so you have more control over them.
>find some tinderAlways bring tinder with you. It is the lightest thing you can carry that you'll be burning. Make sure it is in a water tight container/bag.
>matches are backupBring a lighter as your primary. Matches for secondary. Strikers like mag-blocks and firesteels as backups. You may not plan for it, but there may be a time when you need a fire ASAP and seconds count. Only use the slow methods when you've exhausted all other methods or you are merely practicing/training.
