When you’re outdoors and the temperature starts to drop, it’s not the time to dillydally. Yeah we said, “Dillydally,” because now you’re paying attention and this is important. When you’re camping or hiking and need to get a fire going in a jiffy, you’ve got to be prepared. The FireStar Fire Piston is an awesome and smart step in that direction. With a single push, the tinder that’s placed in the end of the piston spontaneously ignites from the compression. There are no matches, no striking until your fingers are sore, and no waiting for some damn heat. The Fire Piston is pocket-sized so it won’t add bulk to an overstuffed camping bag, and can easily be kept on a belt or a pocket. Your everyday carry list just got a new addition.
