Fire Piston - Survival Fire Pen II Model
Shipping Weight 300.00 g


While it looks like magic, a fire piston works on the principle of compressed air to heat a small piece of tinder. Add the small coal to a fire bundle, blow, or hold it into the wind, and you've got yourself a fire. Ingenious, as it uses materials readily found in nature (punky wood, birch fungus) as a fuel source.

The Survival Pen Fire Piston is the size of a ballpoint pen, has a relief valve (2nd generation design), and features an optional hidden ferro rod.

Includes an extra O-ring, and charcloth. Made in the U.S.A.
SKU: WSL-FP02-S

Made fire
Review by Brian on 29 May 2019 review stating Made fire
Well I've never owned/tried a fire piston before, and added this to an order just to have redundant fire starting methods in my work coat.

Upon receiving it, I tested it in the yard with limited success. Got two embers after about 30mins of trying various methods of using it.

I then went on a 3 day camping trip, and figured I'd try it in the bush for our initial fire. I was expecting to take another 20 or so mins fiddling with techniques, but managed an ember on my 3rd pump. The best technique I found, was holding the piston upside down, and driving the outer part down on the inner with both hands, and immediately raising it off again.

So I was very happy with that, and it now lives in the breast pen pocket of my wool coat. I keep a film canister of char cloth, and a small Vaseline tin to lube the o-rings/emergency fire starter.

Great little tool, and I'd definitely recommend it.

Painful and a waste.
Review by Devon on 12 Apr 2019 review stating Painful and a waste.
The idea of being able to carry this as a pen was very appealing, it is not in reality. The surface area you have to pound on is tiny, which digs into the hands and becomes quite painful after the first strike. You could try banging it with a rock, but I wouldn't trust it not to break.
Oh, and all that's if you're actually able to make it light, which you probably won't. Avoid this and develop a useful skill.

Thanks for your review of your Wildersol Fire Pen.

Sorry to hear that you’re not too impressed with it. There are a couple of things you can try that may improve your experience: for those new to fire pistons, one suggestion is to actually use it upside-down - meaning keep the piston head down on a surface, and slide the outer chamber down the rod to compress. This way, you’re not pushing the rod end into your palm, and can hold the outer chamber in your fingers.

The trick with all fire pistons is to get the rod out of the chamber and into oxygen as quickly as possible after compression. Once you become comfortable with this approach, you can then try compressing by pushing the rod in the chamber either holding with your thumb and index finger, or by placing your thumb over the top of the rod, and holding with a finger or two.

It does take technique and some practice to become proficient using a fire piston.

Hope this helps.
