I got this years ago, it would be one of six ESEE 5's that I would own. In my quest for more {always more} Knives it got pushed to the back of the line. I decided to get it out and use it this season. I took it on todays hike. The Trail in, this was made by migrating Elk. Picked some Grass to be my Tinder. I have been using these Roll Up Dump Pouches for a few years on my Pack. Way better than stuffing it in my pockets. Todays Fire, Rock, Knife and Char Cloth... I grabbed a chunk of foil off a Coffee can to keep the Char out of the snow, while I beat on it. I also had some Punk Wood in a Tin to go in the Fire. It lit pretty easy with a couple of strikes, I take a file to the spine and knock off any mill scale, seems to help. And Fire. Poked the punk-wood tin. Shot of Camp. The punk-wood tin and some snow cooking. CONT.
The Char after a quick cook. Mothers Milk, I need to clean my Tin. I banged my Knife with the Rock to test my Char, Good to Go for the next Fire. The Fire Kit from the Pouch, the Tin in the upper left is my Life support, it always rides in my left cargo pocket. Ferro, Bowdrill or Flint and Steel. The way I left it. Mods, please move this report if it is in the wrong area.
