Hello all,
Ive been this site for a year now and have finally signed up. Ive taken lots of information onboard from various posts, relating to all aspects of Bushcraft.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed information in the past. This is a great site.
I would like to share a little secret with everyone......
Ive recently purchased a Fire Piston through some friendly chap on e bay (Fairttade01) and would like all you fellow bushcrafters to know about how good it is.
Some of you may know of them, but for those that dont...they are definately worth checking out. They have got to be one of the most impressive way of lighting a fire.
I took mine to a recent meet on Dartmoor (16 of us in total) and no-one had ever heard of a Fire Piston. You should have seen their faces when I showed them how to light a piece of tinder within seconds, which then lit a fire for us all to cook some food up on.
I think they are not just a very useful piece of kit, but educational at the same time. The kit I got comes with allsorts of extras....plenty of charcloth, instructions, lube, spare seals and you even get a neat little pouch that clips onto your belt for everything to sit it. Theres a few kits out there, but this one (with all the extras) has got to be one of the best! (and cheapest).
Theres a short vid on you tube of the kit.... (hope the mods are alright with me posting this link)

Ive had mine a few weeks now and used it to light several camp fires, without using anyother form of artificial fire lighter.
I think ive got my brothers christmas pressies sorted already!!!
Thanks for reading and keep up the good work chaps.
