PA-008  Homespun Cotton Scarf    Nothing flashy here just plain, old fashioned cotton triangles used for head scarves, neck scarves, cravats, bandanas, and traditional face protection in dust storms. Our scarves are generously cut across the long points so that, in a pinch, they can also be used for a triangular bandage or arm sling. Colors and patterns vary. Please specify your choice: solid color or colored pattern.    $6.00

FW-020  Fire Making Kit   Contained in a handy round tin can with a friction-fit lid, our Fire Making Kit contains everything needed for starting a fire in a traditional manner. The 4-inch round tinder box includes a C Style Fire Steel, flint, a generous amount of flax tow for tinder, and approximately 12 pieces of cotton char cloth. Of all the tools we offer, this represents a touch stone with history, a most ancient technology - one that can be traced back 5,000 years in man s history. People who are unfamiliar with this form of fire making often times watch in amazement as a fire is kindled in this manner, as if magic or some sort of sorcery was used.   $20.00


FW-023  Trekker's Fire Making Kit   This lightweight Fire Making Kit is ideal for Trekkers wanting to limit the weight of the gear they carry with them in their haversack or belt pouch. This kit uses a French-style oval striker made of high carbon tool steel and includes a sharp piece of French Amber Flint. Two kinds of tinder are provided: traditional flax tow and jute rope. There are enough pieces of char cloth stored under the striker and beneath the tinder to make at least a dozen fires. Weight of this compact kit is about three ounces.   $15.00

FW-029  Charcloth   For the individual who does not have the time to make his or her own char cloth, we offer this convenient pack of at least 30 pieces of 100% cotton char cloth to be used with flint and steel for fire making. While there is no great mystery to making good char cloth, now and then it happens that an outdoor event slips up on a person before there is time to make a batch of char. This solves the problem.   $1.00

FW-019   C Style Fire Steel   This type of Fire Steel is generally thought of as an English pattern and is a type commonly found in archaeological digs at historic sites throughout New England. Made of high carbon tool steel.   $15.00

TK-004  Agate Arrowheads    These are genuine stone arrowheads hand made from agate. The reason they are as inexpensive as they are is that they are imported. If you have an interest in primitive archery and would like to try your hand at hafting a stone point to the end of your arrow, these may just be what you are looking for. Average length is about an inch.   $1.50
