I purchased the fire kit a few weeks ago to throw in my backpack and have been really impressed. The ferro rod and striker work amazingly well, it throws sparks far better than my store-bought Coghlan’s Magnesium Fire Starter. The included wick and bellows are a great touch. once you fluff the fibers a bit it lights up easily and maintains a flame . i will supplement some of my own tinder to store in tin for later as the "tipi" is only single use

Stay dry in the harshest conditions with the authentic U.S. Military Issue GORE-TEX Bivy Cover. This is the genuine surplus outer shell (NSN: 8465-01-547-2644) for the legendary Modular Sleep System (MSS), trusted by the U.S. Army to provide a final, waterproof barrier against the elements. It's a must-have piece of gear for any serious camper, survivalist, or outdoorsman.
Waterproof & Breathable Protection
Crafted from genuine GORE-TEX fabric, this bivy cover is 100% waterproof and windproof, yet it allows internal condensation to escape, keeping you and your sleeping bag dry from the inside and out. The factory-sealed seams ensure no water can penetrate, even in a downpour. It's the ultimate in all-weather protection.
