How to make Tinder Bundles (Tinder Nests)
This video is all about how to make and use Tinder Bundles or Tinder Nests for lighting fires - breathing life into the ancestral fire.
It covers: materials to use; finding and collecting materials; constructing a bundle; blowing to flame; and also a few things to consider on using tinder bundles within ritual (adding herbs/ letting everyone blow into it etc)
This video is more aimed at those new to/learning friction fire but tinder bundles are also useful for other fire lighting techniques.
I really struggled with tinder bundles when I was first learning friction fire so I thought I’d share what works for me to help others with making and lighting tinder bundles.
