Fire Piston Kit- Firestarter Kit with Char Cloth, Cord, and Tinder, Survivalist and Prepper Gift

This fire piston is both a useful emergency tool, and also a unique conversation piece. It uses the power of compressed air to ignite a small piece of char cloth. The char cloth is provided, and once an ember is glowing, the included jute can be used as tinder to get your campfire going. It can be done simply and efficiently, making it great to have in case of emergencies, and fun to show off to your kids as a cool physics experiment. The actual starting of a fire involves a few steps. First, removing the piston from the cylinder can be a little bit difficult because of changes in atmospheric pressure. Once you get the piston out, put a small amount of the included lubricant on the o-rings at the top of the piston. Put a couple of small pieces of char cloth in the tip of the piston, put the larger cylinder on top, and quickly push down, and quickly remove. This product comes with instructions and also information about a video for those struggling with starting a fire. This kit comes with several important pieces of survival gear. Char cloth is vegetable fiber that, via the process of pyrolysis, has been charred. This is typically done by being put in a metal container and placed in a fire. In fact, the tin and uncharred cloth included with this kit can be used to make more of your own! Additionally, the kit comes with jute, which is a historically good tinder for starting fires. Finally, it includes a small piece of paracord, which is a practical necessity for every survival pack.
