A diesel engine uses the same principle, nice demo 🙂
When you strike a Ferro Rod it works with any sharp edge, not just a high carbon steel blade. I’m sure this was a slip of the tongue though.
A slip of the tongue , I could not understand what he was saying .
never had any luck with these things 🙂
Nice to see Dustin outside of his own YouTube channel. The man's got some epic bushcraft skills
I’ve had luck with just a piece of sharp edged quartz on my 13 year old ferro rod. You are right.
I purchased a fire piston back in 09’. I had horrible luck just trying to get it to work for me. I ended up throwing it away, at the cost of $40. Now I stick with a ferro rod or two form of friction fire methods.
I've never seen anything like this before. this blows my mind.
I've gotta have one!!!
wonderfully simple method.
