    I used to make these with my scouts out of maple dowel. Pretty amazing little device.

    We found fire fungus was the easiest to use

    I was a scout or should say still a scout...once a scout always a scout....How come my scout leaders never taught us this kind of stuff...??? I want my money back....lol.

    I'd like to give that a try...Make one out of a wood dowel. Do you use a dowel and some sort of metal tubing?

    PM me Sean or point me to a link. I'd like to learn how to use a dowel to make fire...I know the bow drill fire starting technique but this piston type intrigues me.
