Why are Wilderness Solutions products superior and chosen by Survivorman, Les Stroud?
Several reasons;
- Experience. Wilderness Solutions was the first to offer a modern design. Over a decade has been invested in refining the technology and optimum specifications.
- Performance. Our products ignite best with a sudden, rapid push of the piston. Striking is not necessary nor recommended. Some items being sold on the internet can best be described as homemade, novelty charcloth igniters. Our designs are intended as fire starting tools and are designed to utilize natural organic tinders that can be collected in the woods and fields.
- Superior design. With a homemade design, trapped air prevents full insertion of the piston for storage. The piston will pop back out as if on a spring. Our patented valve design allows the trapped air to be released. The piston can then be fully closed for storage. By closing the valve, the piston is then retained by vacuum to prevent accidental loss. CNC manufacturing methods ensure consistency and high quality.
- Superior delivery. Orders usually ship with 24 hrs. by Priority Mail, 3 day delivery with tracking.
