My EDC Altoids Fire Kit.
Includes Ferro rod on cotton baton with Vaseline, misc picky and pack tools and Waxed Jute Tinder Tube BM9023-2.
This waxed Jute tinder tube method is among the most versatile convenient ways I have found to produce flame from Ferro rods. Flame size can be adjusted, put out easily or moved around.
Copper tube is cut to fit a standard sized Altoids tin.
Remove the jute to use as a blow tube. Keep your distance from the flame, no need to burn yourself trying to blow on your fire. Copper tube ends are ground and sanded to remove sharpest edges.
Copper is anti-microbial, killing even antibiotic resistant bacteria on dry contact. Many types within minutes. Equally important is that copper does not promote anti-biotic resistance.
Other historical uses for copper include disinfecting drinking water, disinfecting wounds etc.
Far superior to Stainless or Glass in these applications.
The dark "tarnish" or patina on copper enhances the anti-microbial effect. Copper & Brass are used in hospitals and public places etc. for "touch surfaces".
Search "anti-microbial copper" for the latest authoritative info.
Flint and Steel components shown but not used.
