A complete bushcraft fire kit in one package . The Pack Pouch carries your tinder and kindling. The Ferro Rod lights it. Built for hikers, bushcrafters, and anyone serious about starting fire in the backcountry.
Why These Two Work Together
A spark isn't a fire. You need tinder. You need kindling. The Ferro Rod gives you the spark and 10ft of beeswax hemp wrap that burns like a candle once lit. The Pack Pouch is your tinder pouch — it carries everything else.
Clip it on. Hike in. Pass a birch tree — pull some bark. Spot dry kindling — toss it in. By the time you reach camp, your fire is already half built.
The rod starts it. The pouch feeds it.
And bundled together, you Save 10% over buying them separately.
