Chances are, if you’re out camping and the weather is perfect, you won’t have any trouble using a match to light a fire. But when weather conditions start getting worse and you’re in dire need of starting a fire to dry off or stay warm, chances are a match isn’t going to get it done. Enter the Firestar II Fire Piston ($53). It eliminates the need to carry matches and ensures you’ll always have a reliable way to get a fire blazing. The Firestar Fire II Piston works by utilizing compression fire starting technology, ensuring lit tinder every time. It’s constructed from machined aluminum and is small enough to fit on your belt or in any backpack pocket for easy carrying, and for added fire starting security, it features a backup ferrocium rod hidden inside.
