I'm so pleased with myself you would of laughed at a 43 year old man dancing round a tiny fire ��
i tried every oil i could think of to lube the piston o ring only to find that Vaseline works the best and once I'd got an ember i managed to get 4 in a row.
I'm still grinning now����
make sure you wash your hands before you go for a erm, you know, the toilet. Things might get a bit warm otherwise lolI keep a stick of lip salve with the firepiston just to make sure I have the right lube with it. If you use the lipsalve directly on the piston/o ring then you'll soon get soot in the lube, it's better to use your finger to transfer the lube onto the piston (and it's good for your skin as well as being more accurate!)
Always so exhilerating to learn a new skill - enjoy your celebrations!
