Has anyone got any spare bits of horsehoof or true tinder fungus that they'd be willing to swap for something?
Ive got loads of Fomes fomentarius, but true tinder fungus is Inonotus obliquus aka chega.
I'll swap you an envelope full of fomes for a decent button compass.

I'll see if I have one in my "man drawer" at home.
Otherwise I have a Light My Fire mini firesteel (lightly used) to swap, or a Maglight in purple (not the smallest one but the next size up), or a Petzl Tikka headtorch and a few other bits that I'll dig out when I get home.
If its not to much, the maglight would be nice.
The fungus is preped into strips of amadu with some boiled up.Theres no saltpeter on it im afraid.
Ive got unprepped too. I'll send the lot and you can have a play.
