Its not in, any of my books and I have not seen it mentioned in and of the fire threads here and on others so I thought I would post it for everyone.
Gorse, the yellowed flowered spiky bush that is in flower all year long (kiss kiss)
Is highly flamable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The oils inside the mainly green parts are very flamable. Its one of the reasons why there are so many canal side fires and fires in the moorlands. On a very hot day it thats next to nothing to make a whole bush go up in flames and as such the bush next door to it and so on untill we have a full wild fire going.
I have never tried but does anyone know how to seperate some of this oil for tinder fire starting use. Has anyone tried to preserve the green leaf for tinder and did it work, and what other ideas can we do with gorse in the way of fire.
