What Is #AskPaulKirtley?
#AskPaulKirtley is my Q&A video and podcast series that aims to answer your questions about bushcraft, survival skills and outdoor life.
The idea here is partly to take the strain off my email inbox and get answers out to people in a more timely fashion.
Rather than send an answer to just that one person, I’d like others to benefit from the answers too. So, just in the same way I’d previously write an email answer, here I’m going to speak the answer (which is much quicker than me typing out an answer, so I’ll get more questions answered as well as benefiting more people).

Hey Paul, awesome episode
I just wanted to add for natural finders for flint and steel I have had very reliable and successful results with milk weed. In fall and winter, while the plant is letting out its seeds, it has a small plant meterial that holds all the dadielion like seeds together and it stays fairly dry because it’s inside a pod and it’s very light and airated, it will catch a spark easily. It’s about the only natural material I have found constantly that doesn’t need any prep for flint and steel.
Haha, over a year later I see my own question answered here. Hyper-efficient me 😛
First of all, thanks for the (indeed) fast reply. Yes, I meant the light hitting the ground and that blinding me. Turned out that that cheap one I used had pretty crappy blueish LEDs and after getting a decent one with a neutral-white LED everything is fine. And thanks a lot for that great tipp with closing one eye for a short glimpse on the map.
Tobias
Hhaha, well I’m glad the answer finally found its way to you Tobias. I’m also glad you have a better head lamp now. And I’m glad the eye-closing tip was useful to you.
Warm regards,
Paul
