Rambling in the mountains, rambling about the gear.

09 – Spark

Throwing a shower of sparks on the cotton ball. True confession: we took this picture after-the-fact. We missed the sparks in the original series. And I’m striking the firesteel above the cotton ball, because it took about 20 tries to capture the sparks on film. Normally the steel would be down on the cotton ball and I’d be driving the sparks into the cotton.
