I wrote an article on how to use a fire piston for The Bushcraft Journal in 2016 and it’s reproduced on our blog here. It’s definitely worth a read and compliments the video below, which is all about fire pistons.
We teach fire pistons, and loads of other ignition methods, on our 2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses, and also our 2 Day & 5 Day Survival Courses.
You can see plenty of photos from all of these courses on our Facebook page.
