What failed the first time you tried natural tinder in wet conditions? What corrected it?

After today’s exercise, everything had to come inside for preventative maintenance. Not included in the photos are a pair of loppers. I have to rethink those because I don’t hike with loppers. I also don’t hike with the fixed blade Fiskars saw. The hatchet will be added to some kits. I have talked in other topic areas about how much I have learned about fire and shelters. I have not talked about tool use and maintenance. Since the beginning of the year I have seriously increased my knife utilization and the need for knife maintenance. In reviewing my after-action-report from the Wilderness Skills Course, GB2, I wrote that much more knife utilization and practice should precede course work. My hands and knife skills are seriously better today than a month ago. Reps and practice. Yes, I am also thrilled with the two Migizi knives. The Bushcraft / Survival Knife is currently riding in a leather dangler from LT Wright because I need to get it below the winter coat. I am working on a dangler design to use the Kydex sheath provided.
