How can rotten wood really start a fire?
In this video, I recreate a firestarting technique used by 18th-century longhunters, Native Americans, and early settlers—using nothing but charred punkwood, flint, and steel.
Punkwood is the soft, decayed wood from trees like beech or maple. When charred properly, it becomes an incredibly effective ember-catcher, just like the “spunks” or “touchwood” mentioned in colonial-era journals.
We’ll walk you through:
• How to find and identify the right kind of punkwood in the wild
• How to char it without a period-correct tin
If you're interested in documented historic bushcraft, frontier survival, or living history, this is fire-starting the way it was actually done.
