Using flint and steel to light a fire is somewhat difficult. In order to use a flint and steel, you take a hard, sharp-edged rock in one hand and the steel striker in the other. The "flint" can be any hard, sharp rock, such as flint, jasper, or quartz. The striker can be any piece of high-carbon steel, such as a knife blade.

Hold the striker loosely and strike it against the rock, as if you were trying to shave the striker with the rock. If using charpaper, place the charpaper on top of the rock and it will catch the sparks. You then take the glowing charpaper and set it against your tinder, then blow on it gently until you get a flame.
