    DIY firerod on a watchband.

    Little DIY project that came out surprisingly nice. You can buy various size firesteels on ebay, this one is 4mm in diameter and I cut it to size with the hacksaw (1" length). Added ceramic striker and one piece of "tinderquick" and wrapped everything in duck tape (2 independent wraps). I was...

    What bombproof tinder?

    After trying few options I ended up with scraps of inner tube. Free, light, durable and waterproof, burns hot and hard. And the biggest thing is I can shape it to my container so I have few circles at top and bottom of my exotac matchcap cushioning the matches, and on the outside ranger band...

    Tools for the future?

    I have been through fire kits and EDCs for years. Went full circle few times and ended up with a turboflame lighter in my belt pouch next to my multitool as my main source of heat, and a peanut lighter+micro firerod on my keyring as backup. Turboflame have a window to see the butane level but...

    This is what you want. Very well made pouch, low profile with a snap instead of velcro that get's weak with time. Two loops on both sides for your torch and pen. Can't do better than that. Just make sure to pick the Medium size, this also comes in Large...

    FlexiStove

    Not very elegant but the heat retention and wind resistance must be fantastic. Very cool approach to gel stove. Also impossible to damage (squash).

    Pot for 230g gas canister

    Flip the can upside down in the 900ml titanium pot and the mini tove will fit much better on top. Also remove the plstic cap.

    DIY Leatherman modular pouch.

    Maybe someone will find this little idea useful. Much lighter and more slimlined compared to a standard molle mag pouch. Also modular so for example I can convert it to a smaller version to take on a plane.
