Join Park Ranger Taylor Moorefield for a demonstration of how to make charcloth, a vital piece of kit for your flint & steel fire kit! Charcloth is quick and easy to make and was a very common material on the 18th century frontier. However, like many traditional skills, it is rarely practiced today. Each participant can take a piece of charcloth home. Watch the process of pyrolysis and see firsthand what makes charcloth so useful for a variety of fire-starting methods. Meet in the Talbot Blockhouse, 2nd cabin on the left when entering Ft. Watauga from the sidewalk.
