Passing skills on !

[pitdog]

When my parents visited this year from England I showed my dad how easy it was to make a fire using a ferro-rod. It was my dad and grandad that got me into outdoors stuff but more the enjoyment of nature rather than bush skills.
Anyway so impressed was my dad that he bought a ferro-rod and said he was going to take it and show my little nephew how to use it.

He sent me these pics today~

This was probably a lesson my nephew will now never forget and hopefully one day he will pass it on as well !:thumbup:
