____________________________________

To make fire, you hit the fire steel against a flint. Due to the resulting friction, the pyrite or marcasite sprays sparks. These sparks must fall on the tinder. If a tiny flame is formed, the critical moment comes: now you have to blow the flame and add other fuel (such as straw).
As a flint you can take the flint stone, which can be found anywhere on the German East coast. Material: wrought iron.
