Description
English:

Flint and fire steel.

Flint and a fire steel from Fort Union Trading Post's museum collections (FOUS 844 and FOUS 840, respectively). To start a fire, one strikes the flint and fire steel together to create a spark above tinder fungus, dead grass, or charred cloth. That smoldering material is then placed in tinder and kindling and blown on until flames catch.
