The Heart of Your Fire Kit

What’s Included in the Kit:

These tins are designed to protect your char cloth from moisture and compression, ensuring your tinder is bone-dry when you need it most. Each tin is emblazoned with the KonvoySG heritage logo—a mark of quality you can trust.

Mastering the Spark: A Guide to Your KonvoySG Tinder Kit

Fire lighting is more than a skill; it’s a connection to our ancestors. Your KonvoySG Char Cloth is the bridge between a tiny spark and a roaring fire. Here is how to use it effectively.

Step 1: Prepare Your Bird’s Nest

Before you strike a spark, have your secondary tinder ready. Use dry grass, cedar bark, or even a few frayed threads from your KonvoySG Jute Bag. Shape it into a loose "nest" with a small hollow in the center.

Step 2: Position the Char Cloth

Take one piece of char cloth from your Aluminium Tin. If using flint and steel:

• Place the char cloth on top of your flint stone, about 1-2mm back from the sharp edge.
• Hold it firmly with your thumb.

Step 3: Catch the Spark

Strike the steel against the flint with a glancing blow. You are looking to shaved off a tiny piece of hot metal that lands directly onto the fabric.

• The Glow: Unlike a match, char cloth won't "flame." Look for a tiny, growing red ember on the black fabric.

Step 4: From Ember to Flame

Once the cloth is glowing, carefully place it into the center of your prepared bird's nest.

1. Fold the nest loosely over the glowing cloth.
2. Blow with long, steady breaths.
3. Watch as the smoke thickens and then—whoosh—the nest bursts into flame.

Pro-Tips from the KonvoySG Garden

• Keep it Dry: Always return unused cloth to the aluminium tin immediately. Humidity is the enemy of a good spark.
• Patience is a Tool: If the spark doesn't catch the first time, take a breath. Survivalism is about calm, deliberate action.
