Well...after playing with the little Bushlore last night I just couldn't resist....I decided to put my fuzzy making skills to the test and see if I could get fire with a spark without using fatwood. I usually use fatwood just because it is so easy and there is so much of it here. It worked out fine so on dry days if I dont have any fatwood handy it doesnt matter. Now to see how many other natural tinders I can play with 
I made a few more fuzzy curls and started collecting them on a leaf the wind was blowing a bit so I had to weight the leaf down.
Then I got what I made last night and my firesteel.
Gathered up some tinder and small ships for fuel. Then put the leaf on some drift wood to light it.
Then hit the tinder with a few sparks did take a few times and then the fire came to life.
Then starting adding the fuel
Soon had a good fire going, and had to put it out when it started catching the log on fire. Before anybody asks again this is one of my work areas, it was a temp deck on my brothers house I built and I brought it out here thinking about turning it into a small building but for now ..
