This morning the temperature was unexpectedly -32C offering an opportunity for another video. It warmed up to about -31C by the time I got organized for filming. The Steel wool, Flint and Steel, Ferro rod etc. were all outdoors overnight, so got a good "cold soak" for the event.
-31C is too cold for BIC lighters, they will spark but won't light.
The purpose for this test was to see if Steel Wool would still ignite using Flint and Steel at lower ambient temperatures. Worked good !! Waxed Jute Tinder Tubes still seem to work good also.
Flint and Steel ignition seemed a bit "slower" than at higher temperatures, at times taking more strikes for ignition it seemed.
Or... are my flint rocks getting dull?
Waxed Jute flame size seemed down a bit also....
If it gets even colder, expect more videos !!
