Pirates Plunder Kit
Everybody's stocking up on beans. Who's bringing the fire?
The Pirates Plunder Kit is the part of the stockpile people forget. An arc lighter, an XL ferro rod, four Fire Starter Sticks and the case that holds them. Two ways to light a fire and plenty to keep it going.
You save $36
Don't be the microwave guy.
Plenty of stockpiles have food, water and a flashlight. A lot fewer have a way to light a fire when every outlet in the house is dead. That's the whole job of this kit.
We read the government's emergency checklist.
Ready.gov recommends packing a manual can opener. Good call. Now you can open a can of cold chili and look at it.
A little further down, the extra supplies list says: "Matches in a waterproof container."
We took that personally.
- Flashlight
- Manual can opener (for food)
- Local maps
- Whistle (to signal for help)
- Matches in a waterproof container
Two ways to light it. Four sticks to keep it lit.
Arc Lighter
Windproof, rechargeable over USB, and there's no butane to run out of.
XL Ferro Rod
Half an inch thick, throws a fat shower of sparks rain or shine, and comes wrapped in paracord.
4 Fire Starter Sticks
Light it with Plan A or Plan B and build around it. Cotton rope soaked in wax and oils, so it's waterproof. Up to 50 fires from one stick, and a 100-year shelf life.
Organizer Case
Everything lives together, so nobody's digging through a drawer by flashlight. 12 elastic loops, a MOLLE panel, and room for whatever else you end up buying at 2am.
Also in the chest: a pirate patch, decals and a free fire-starting eBook.
603 reviews. Here are a few.
"My go-to order is getting the pirates plunder. Covers all bases and can use everything in all weather conditions. The ferro rod and fire starter worked great in a -25 degree snow camping trip on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska!"
"Ferro rod is great! And I was skeptical about the electric lighter but I was surprised how good it worked!"
"It works in the snow! ... I used the starter and the lighter and they worked amazingly!"
"I like it got one in my Bug out bag, my get home bag and one to a friend"

Fair questions
Is this the end of the world?
Probably not. Winter storms, power outages and camping trips still happen every year, and this kit covers all three.
I already have a lighter.
Great. Where is it right now? If you had to think about it, that's the point of keeping everything in one case.
Do the sticks work when it's wet?
They're waterproof and windproof. Cut a piece, light it, and build your fire around it.
Does the arc lighter need fuel?
No. It charges over USB.
What are the sticks made of?
Cotton rope infused with non-toxic, odorless wax and oils.
Will this make me the weird prepper on the block?
A little. You'll also be the one with a working fire, and people forgive a lot for that.
Put it in the closet and stop thinking about it.
