(More customer reviews)Reviews for the "scout" model fire piston on YouTube can go both ways. one young man gave it a great review and a fine tutorial while another showing an inferior model gave it a poor review. the Scout Fire Piston as distributed by this company is perhaps one of the finer pieces of outdoors equipment i've ever used. as it came to me the dark colored parts seem to be made of a high density, maybe fiber reinforced plastic. the rod it metal, perhaps aluminum though i'm not sure. it was shipped to me with two o-rings(one installed) prepacked with Vaseline, charcloth and a instruction/troubleshooting/what tinders to use 8 1/2 by 11 sheet. also the durability of the ziplock bags all these came in means you can pull it out of the box, test it, put it back in the bag, toss it right in your pack and go on your expedition of choice. while i will probably never go on an extended excursion without matches i will definately include this fire piston as a back up emergency fire starter. it's benefits over firesteel are extreme. it makes its own heat and friction in an enclosed space while a firesteel has to first heat the tinder before it will catch. if your not to sure about forking over the big bills as i was for cocobola or buffalo horn models put faith in something that i am assured will start a fire, be it for signal, heat or what have you, an item you can scratch or dig without concern for looks because it still works. this item works. i cannot express my satisfaction with this product enough and though currently out of stock on amazon i hope more come soon as i would love to hand a few out as christmas gifts to my closest friends. i would recommend one to anyone into survival and or preparedness who wants a backup firestarter they can rely on. also the fact that it's only possible wear item is the o-ring means it leaves no trace. lighters run out of fuel, ma tches burn up after each use and firesteels are a wear item. the best tinder prescribed is charcloth, otherwise known as roasted rag bits. its like green fire starting if there can be such a thing

Amazing fire starting device that causes spontaneous combustion using air. Similar to the Diesel engine, heat generated by compressed air molecules is used to ignite tinder. Can be used to ignite numerous natural tinders plus charred cotton cloth. The Scout Model is manufacured from space age polymer and features an aluminum piston shaft. Comes with complete instructions, Char-cloth and a spare O ring. Many other models and performance demonstration videos are available on the Wilderness Solutions website. LIFETIME WARRANTEE. We will repair or replace any product that fails to perform for any reason. You may return unused product within 5 business days for full refund.
