Flint & Steel Fire Lighting Methods.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

There are no safe paths in this part of the world. Remember you are over the Edge of the Wild now, and in for all sorts of fun wherever you go.

That is fascinating - how wonderful to see an illustration from period of it being done.
What are the white things? A kind of primitive match / ember catcher thing?

The white lines? They look to be either some kindling, or perhaps spalls to my eyes.

Interesting. To my eyes, I immediately thought of twice-dipped candle wicks!
