Product description

Tarred yarn has been used for centuries on sailing ships for rigging, knot tying, and securing ratlines and hanks. It was a staple for pioneers in wilderness areas. Traditionally made from hemp, the yarn was impregnated with "Swedish tar" for durability. While wood tar washes out after a year, it provides water and UV resistance until then. To maintain efficiency, apply oil or wax reproofing cream.

But how does a rope with these two characteristics work and what extra capabilities does it have?

Process the rope fibers to make a bird’s nest. Throw high temperature sparks by the means of a ferrocerium rod or similar. It will catch the sparks amazingly! The flame the nest will provide will be very ample, hot and fast: this is called a Flash Tinder.

Do you want a more sustainable flame? Use separate yarns of your rope as kindling or just press more tightly some parts of the nest you created, it will help maintain a flame for longer. Blowing into it will restart your flame!

Expose a piece of rope to a flame long enough until it finally catches on fire, voilà! You just created a portable flame: this makeshift candle works because of the infused tar in the rope, as it melts and feeds the natural hemp fibre.
