Often bring my FBM, DFLE AND Linder machete when I get out. If the zombies comes, one big knife isn´t enough muahaha <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Gonna test my khukuri and some other knives today, just for fun

Did a try before making fire but no luck <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> got smoke but no fire. have to try later on when I don´t have bandage on my right hand. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Those fire pistons are really cool, but quite a challenge to make correctly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

They seem to work really well once made right, and you get used to the technique.

Thanks for find that Simon,

The fire piston is an interesting concept. It might be fairly impractical in a survival situation, though. It would take a really long time to make all the materials. It seems that design needs to made perfectly in order to work.

Maybe not easy to make one out in the woods but it´s a "must try" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Or you can buy a pre-made set. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I seriously doubt I could find the right kinda wood to make one of those, though. Let alone, coat it in black.

I ment try it at home <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I will see if I can make a working one.

I've got some fat wood that I can use as tinder. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Here are plans for a cheaply made one you guys might like. I’ve never tried one, but it looks interesting. My Dad has a metal lathe, so I’d like him to help me make an aluminum one sometime. With extra O rings and some PJ, you could make indefinite fires in the wild.
