I am still amazed, given all the information that was staring me in the face, at how long it took me to realise the importance of the Tinderbox in early fire lighting. I was at first gullible enough to believe in the so called char tin & charcloth . But once I realised that this method could not have been used in the 18th century, I started experimenting to find other ways of producing charred tinder. I tried burying it in the earth to smother it, & this did work, but still I did not see the tinderbox connection !!! (the mind boggles). Once I realised how the tinderbox might be used, & I actually used it to produce charred tinder, then I realised that there must be a lot of plants that can also be used as tinder & in fact they were used outside of the home.
