Near ideal fire piston design - Numyth Vulcan Fire Piston V2

Beautifully machined device with key features included. I had to find the critical factors to get quasi reliable ignition; the little things are important. Tinder must be DRY (less than 5 pct moisture); charcloth seems to work best. Tube must be clean and piston orings lightly lubed;no excess. Test that the piston moves very freely with only air compression resistance. Holding cylinder strike down hard onto a wooden object so that piston bottoms out. Quickly pull piston out to check for ember.
Practice and find what works for you.
