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.

About the Pouch

Our Unique Design

Design

Snaps — Best for quick on/off carry, canoe strapping, and MOLLE attachment. Removes from your belt without unthreading. If you're strapping to a canoe, order Large + Snaps.

Rivets — Best for belt carry and axe holster use. Creates a fixed belt loop with no risk of accidental opening. The recommended finish if carrying an axe is your primary use.

Materials — 12oz canvas coated in real beeswax, not synthetic wax or PU coating. All hardware is rustproof metal or brass. Zero plastic components.

Care Instructions

Longer term storage for the canvas should be in a dry place. Although protected by beeswax, any wet storage for prolonged periods may cause some mildew buildup regardless.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Washing is not recommended, as it will remove the beeswax finish. But if you want to remove a stain etc, then soap and water will do the trick for a wash.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Leather Accessories will age and naturally darken when exposed to UV over time. This is natural and adds to the rugged look of the canvas. To maintain the leathers if they ever get dry, use our Bucksaw Butter wax, a leather conditioner, or any other beeswax based wax to maintain it’s suppleness as the years pass.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
