Used my fire steel the other night to start a fire and my wife became very interested in trying it out. I had a good fire going in less than 10 minutes. I've only been using the fire steels since last Christmas when her aunt gave me one as a gift. Anyways she wanted to learn how to make a fire "like I did". I got a hand full of cedar bark and made a small bird nest sized bundle to catch the sparks. It took her a little while to get it going, probably a lot faster than my first attempt was when I tried. I'm proud that she was so interested in learning and wanted to give it a try. So now all I have to do is talk her into making the fire next time and I'll watch.:D
 
That is very cool! As DxAxN said, it's nice to have the wife into the same things we are. (Important that we understand this goes both ways though) Worth noting that having plenty of tinder, then kindling, etc gathered before starting the fire is an important part of the deal. Congrats and hope you continue to have fun together!
