The Hunter Fire Piston is the second generation style of Fire Piston. It is bullet shaped and smoothly finished. It simply feels comfortable in either hand or pocket. Just put your tinder in the piston, strike the piston with the flat of your hand and withdraw the piston as quickly as you can to see the glowing ember. Amazing! 

The Hunter Fire Piston comes without the lanyard. 

Because O rings seal so  effectively, all fire pistons having an O ring suffer from an inherent drawback. Trapped air inside the cylinder prevents full insertion. Like a spring, the compressed air forces the piston back out of the cylinder making it inconvenient to carry and causing the risk of a lost piston. We find solutions such as putting a thread under the o ring or changing O rings to be unacceptable and have therefore developed a solution to this problem  - and it works so well its being patented.
The solution was to engineer an integral pressure relief valve that allows the trapped air to be released yet that is easily re-sealed, enabling full compression for fire lighting.  Once the valve is closed, the piston is effectively trapped by vacuum preventing its accidental loss in the field.

4.5" long. 

The 2nd Generation pistons feature brass tipped shafts for long service and durability. Like all Wilderness Solutions fire pistons they're covered by a lifetime repair warrantee.
