Fat Rope Stick Reviewed - Kevin Estela is Fiddlin' With Fire
Fat Rope Stick - Ultimate Fire Starting Tinder
Fat Rope Stick is winning people over world-wide. With it's compact packaging and weather-mocking ability to get a fire going, it's quickly becoming the go-to fire starting tinder for everyone's emergency kits, camp setups, and bug-out bags. But we wanted an expert opinion...so we sent some to Kevin Estela of Estela Wilderness School. Here's what he had to say about Fat Rope Stick:
I’ve long asserted you should always carry pre-made tinder with you into the field. Granted, you may have to make do one day with what you can find off the land but why risk not being able to make a fire in cold conditions? The folks at the Fiddleback Outpost recently sent me a sample of their Fat Rope Stick and I gave it a go. Compared to “standard” vaseline and cotton balls, Fat Rope Stick is a whole new animal. It is cotton based and the additive helps the frayed cotton fabric take a spark easily. An added benefit of Fat Rope Stick is that it will keep your kit clean since the plastic coating prevents any additive from bleeding out. Fat Rope Stick is a great example of TINDER that will take a spark. It’s the fuel source you need to ignite a proper fire.
We strongly recommend you follow Kevin Estela on Instagram @Estelawilded and on Facebook. He can also be found on the pages of Recoil OffGrid Magazine, the pages of American Survivalist Magazine, and teaching the occasional class for Estela Wilderness Education.

John Dorie's Rifle Sling on Fear the Walking Dead
One of the main characters, John Dorie regularly carries a sweet lever action with one of our RLO Custom Leather No-Drill Harnessed Slings on it. You see, John was a bit of a sport shooter before the zombie apocalypse hit in TX. He was a regular on the cowboy shooting circuit, as well as being a law enforcement officer. And when you are a cowboy shooter, as well as a Texan, a lever action rifle is naturally a great choice. Lever action rifles are known for their reliability and smooth action. Not to mention, your rifle and your sidearm can use the same ammo if you buy right. That means alot when ammo is scarce and you're facing hordes of the undead...as well as ...
