Climber,

Do you have any thoughts on their mini Piston. I was looking at getting one of the mini Coco Bolo pistons with the Ferocerium rod in the back side of the piston rod. I carry my camp on my back and I am trying to keep my weight as low as possible, but also want something that is going to work. I also like the idea of having the alternative option just in case. I almost always carry vaseline cotton balls with me as a firestarter, so having vaseline on hand is not a problem.

Thanks for the information about tinder, I will have to get a little bit of everything and start practicing.

What are your thoughts about the Scout Pistons? I was thinking of getting my boys some of those to practice with. And once they prove they can use them, upgrading them to a nicer version.

I appreaciate the response,
