okay...so does anyone remember the episode where he was stuck out in alaska...or maybe it was the pacific northwest. at any rate.

he used this little device that i think was called an air hammer or air ram...something like that...probably wrong though. it was a handheld size tube with a piston/ram. he put a little piece of dry grass in it and pushed the piston into the tube fast and it made a pop and he got a small piece of cherry red charcoal out of it that he used to start a fire.

what is this thing actually called...air ram...air hammer...air piston...what? where could i find one and how much are they?

[1MileCrash]

wait...nevermind...found it...

it's a fire piston

see how much it costs and then go to your local gas station and I bet a lighter is much cheaper.

Lighters don't like wet conditions. But yea a lighter is cheaper.

lighters are cheaper yes but i am looking at getting one just for the fun of it for one but also as a teaching tool and instructional tool for my cadets for field operations next summer.

I saw him pick at cotton socks to get enough lint together once to start a fire. They sell all kinds of those survival gadgets. I just carry lighters and a cell phone.
