NEWS – If you’re into camping, hiking, or just want to be prepared for emergencies, the PREPARED4X Survival Torch Fire Starter is one of those tools that feels like a must-have. It’s not just another fire starter—it’s designed to be reliable, durable, and easy to use, even in tough conditions. The standout feature here is its wax-infused hemp rope, which gives you an impressive 36 inches of fire-starting material. This rope can burn for over three hours total or handle thousands of single-strike uses. Plus, you can control the flame size by adjusting how much wick you expose, and when you’re done, just pull it back into the aluminum housing to snuff it out.
The ferrocerium rod is another highlight. It’s built to create a shower of sparks with just one strike, thanks to its curved steel striker. Whether you’re lighting kindling for a campfire or starting a survival fire in harsh weather, this tool has your back. It’s water-resistant and wind-resistant, so even if it’s been sitting out in the rain all night, it’ll still work like a charm. That’s peace of mind when you’re out in the wild.
What really sets the Survival Torch apart is its simplicity and build quality. The aluminum housing is designed to be sturdy but lightweight, making it easy to toss in your backpack or emergency kit. And if you ever run out of rope (which will take a while), refills are available so you can keep using it for years. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or someone who likes to be prepared for anything, this fire starter is a practical tool that delivers on its promises. You can buy one directly from Prepared4x.com and Amazon for less than $20.

Update: $23.99 at both sites. Amazon claims “-20%” on the price with a list of $29.99.
Ah! 4″ in $19.99.
Note: Review is unclear on size reviewed. Based on price quoted I conclude the 4″ version was reviewed but it would be good to see confirmation of this.
Hey Jerry, neither were reviewed. This was just a news post letting people know that it exists because I thought it looked interesting. 🙂
Oh, OK.
I’m guessing this discussion has been had before (it seems like reviews vs. news is mentioned here on-and-off) but, for me, language like “What really sets the Survival Torch apart is its simplicity and build quality” make it seem like a review. Since The Gadgeteer did not review, this language came from a press release written by PREPARED4X? Who comment on their own build quality?
I guess the takeaway, for me anyway, is “know what you are reading” (news vs. review) – and keep that in mind while reading.
