WOW! Do you have that? I would love to see what it looks like but I think we would both end up on a list somewhere!

After playing with my "Son's" new toy I started thinking, This is good enough to see see bacteria and viruses. Granted I have not tried this with his microscope YET! but it is has 900x and 1000x is...

Forgot to ask if your getting pressure that pushes back against your hand as you push in? Mine will almost pop back out of the cylinder if I slip off during the shove in.

Is the cylinder material wood or did insert a tube of some sort? I have never used a cylinder made of wood, seem that air would escape the pressure stroke via the woods grains? I know on my design...

Crash: I'm with you I don't wear anything other than polarized lenses unless I can't find them LOL. You can always check to see if a pair of lenses are polarized by putting another pair of polarized...

Justin: I use to be, I retired from the 20 patient a day treadmill to do some fun things in life and spend more time with my 4 year old Son. I still do some refractions here and there to stay...

Sorry Hunter63

Later on I will edit it cuz I agree with you...

Great picture Batch, The fire looks amazing! How long was the exposure?

I've been camping more times than I can count and I have never built my truck it's own warming fire! Batch are you taking "Take care of your truck and it will take care of you" a bit far? LOL JK, I...

Thanks Justin Case, I check it out every night now and nothing since that trip...

Just hoping if there where any others that have noticed or will notice any Moon strangeness and post, Thanks!

I checked online and it was not due to follow that path that night.

Justin Case: I...

Has anyone noticed the moon in strange positions? I few weeks ago while camping in the Sierras the moon was high in the Eastern sky then later in the evening it was low in the Southern sky. Then the...

When in a survival situation good vision and self reliance are paramount. The following knowledge can make you a more valuable asset to any survival community because over half of the people will...

I did put a mylar reflective car solar sun shade (bent in a convex shape) on back side of the fire pit to reflect the heat toward our hammocks.

Hunter63: Great Idea! I'll work on an thermostat...

Hey Batch!
Here is kind of what it looked like, It did not feed the entire piece of the wood in but it did burn most of the night.http://www.survival-gear-reviews.com/Dakota_Feeder.jpg

So Glad you got it to lite up! My home made ones have almost no room once I push them in as to get the best compression ratio and highest heat (they say it can get up to 800 degrees F). The only void...

Sorry to hear your flashlight did not survive! In case this helps in the future... I had a flash light that was lost and when found was in bad condition as well. I soaked it in Pepsi and shot the C...

The Dakota Stove has a lot of the same benefits as a rocket stove... Less wood needed, less smoke (higher heat) more complete combustion and better efficiency all around from what I have seen while...

rwc1969: If the cylinder is airtight then I would next suspect the piston seal design. Does it push back against your hand after pressing it in? If not then your not getting a good seal. If the seal...

Maybe I could add in some gory details to scary up the story a bit LOL

Glad you liked it Rebel

Hey Guys!

rwc1969: Did you put Teflon tape on the end cap treads that normally leak? and add JB weld to fill up the void? I hear shoving aluminum foil into it works to fill the void too. I made...

I got this fire piston from my Grand Father before he
