Fire is survival 101—it keeps you warm, cooks your food, and signals for help when things go south. But in an emergency, you can’t afford to waste time fumbling with unreliable fire-starting methods. That’s where the Fire Starting PAK Kit comes in—a compact, battle-ready fire-starting system that fits in your pocket and guarantees you’ll never be without fire when you need it most.
