Tim's ‘TinderBall’ Lanyard Range
Home Page

Presenting to you the Original ‘TinderBall’ Lanyard Range for all your Bushcraft needs. A ‘TinderBall’ is a Monkey Fist Knot consisting of approximately 12-foot of 550 Para Cord which is ingeniously tied around a tough plastic container that contains emergency Fire Lighting materials.

Each ‘TinderBall’ weighs just 7g and contains approximately 3g of dry Tinder that consists of 100% Cotton Char Cloth and some Horse’s Hoof Tinder Fungus (Fomes Fomentarius) or ‘Amadou’ as it is known when it has been processed. Both of these great forms of Tinder are used to catch an all important Spark and from there reward you with a slow burning Ember. Also inside the container is some Jute Tinder Cord and Cotton Wool which you can use to make a Tinder Bundle Nest to turn the glowing Ember into a FIRE.
