Survival Kit Lighter - Fire Starter outfitted with supplies.
The Survival Kit Lighter is a standard Bic brand lighter (colors vary) sold with 2 medium heavy duty ranger bands and a themed set of supplies designed to fit against the lighter's frame — tapes, mirrors and glow surfaces adhere to the body, and tools like the cuff key, blade and Kevlar saw are held on by wrapping a ranger band around them. It is a DIY kit: tools and supplies come loose for you to set up, with some tapes and clips pre-attached. Survival adds a reflective signal mirror tape, a glow light strip, a hockey tape base grip with paracord lanyard, a curved craft razor blade, a needle, a ziptie and a water purification tablet (prepares 2 liters of filtered, non-stagnant water); Urban adds 1ft of black heavy-duty tinder duct tape, a universal handcuff key with clip, the Superesse Shim Saw, Kevlar Utility Cord, a Thumb Tac compass, a micro steel carabiner clip and a ziptie; Fire adds a ziptie, tinder parchment, 1ft of orange heavy-duty tinder duct tape, 2+ft of beeswax jute tinder (20lb tensile strength) and a 2 inch ferrocerium rod; Triple Pack is three lighters with 6 ranger bands in total: 1x Survival, 1x Urban and 1x Fire. The ziptie in each kit wraps under the button to prevent accidental activation and fuel loss while the lighter is in a bag.
"A prudent person foresees danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. - Proverbs 27:12"

WHY YOU’RE BUYING FROM STAY READY.
We aren’t the Amazon of survival. We’re a small, opinionated shop that carries gear we’d stake our own lives on — and we back every piece with real support.
Curated
Every brand we carry has been vetted in the field by our team. If it doesn’t pass our 30-day use test, we don’t stock it.
Authenticated
Factory-direct from authorized dealers. No grey-market, no refurb, no knockoffs. Your warranty is real.
Supported
Real humans on phone, text, and email — seven days a week. We carry this gear ourselves and we stand behind it.
American
HQ in California. Orders ship from our US warehouse. US-based customer care.
VETERAN-MADE CONCEALED EDC
Survival gear hidden inside a morale patch. Hand-built by a Special Ops veteran outside Fort Bragg.
Superesse started in 2014 with Wesley — a US Army Special Operations Command veteran with SERE and unconventional warfare training — making paracord bracelets for his team as a morale boost. The bracelets became wearable survival kits, integrating flashlights, fire-starters, fishing tackle, and whistles into a single strap. Today Superesse is run by Wesley and his wife Diana out of North Carolina near Fort Bragg — still a husband-and-wife shop, still handmade, still built on the assumption that the gear you need most is the gear you happen to be wearing.
- Founded in 2014
- Veteran and Law Enforcement owned and operated
- Husband-and-wife team — handmade production
- Based in North Carolina near Fort Bragg
- Specialized in paracord straps, hidden-compartment patches, and concealed EDC
Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
How is this made and where does it ship from?
Superesse Straps LLC is a veteran and law enforcement owned husband-and-wife shop based in North Carolina near Fort Bragg. Superesse says nearly everything is made in their home and gear is handmade to order in small release batches. Some components come from other makers, named on the product page where Superesse names them. Orders ship directly from Superesse, so delivery can take longer than items SRO stocks.
How long does shipping take?
Most in-stock orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, not counting weekends and federal holidays. Special-order, dealer-direct, custom, and LYNX Survival Systems orders can take longer. Lead times shown on product pages are estimates, not guarantees.
Typical carrier transit after that: Economy 5 to 7 business days, Expedited 2 to 3, Overnight 1. These are carrier estimates, not guarantees. Some items, such as lithium batteries, aerosols, and safety matches, may be limited to ground shipping.
Free Economy shipping on qualifying orders over $150 to the contiguous US, on eligible products. Oversized, heavy, freight, hazardous-material, dealer-direct, custom-built, and special-order items may be excluded. Oversized and freight items, such as rooftop tents, recovery equipment, and Pro Eagle products, may carry extra shipping charges. If extra charges apply, we'll let you know before the order ships.
Some items ship directly from the manufacturer or a supplier partner on their own schedule, so an order can arrive in more than one package with more than one tracking number. Full details: Shipping Policy.
What’s your return policy?
You have 30 days from receiving your order to request a return on eligible items. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com with your order number, the item, and the reason, and wait for return authorization before you ship anything back. Returns sent without authorization may be refused.
Items must come back in like-new condition: unused, unmodified, unworn, unwashed, and free of odors, dirt, stains, pet hair, and damage, with all original packaging, manuals, accessories, and tags, plus proof of purchase.
For standard parcel items, you pay return shipping unless the return is due to our error, shipping damage, or a verified defect. If we provide a prepaid label, its cost may be deducted from your refund. For oversized, freight, dealer-direct, and special-order items, you pay return shipping unless the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect. Original shipping charges aren't refunded. Some items may carry a restocking fee of up to 15%, and we'll tell you during authorization.
Some items are fulfilled by third-party suppliers and follow that supplier's return policy, so eligibility, refund timing, return shipping, and restocking fees may differ.
Approved refunds go to your original payment method. Allow up to 10 business days after approval, and your bank may take longer to post it. Full details: Return & Refund Policy.
What can’t I return?
These can't be returned or refunded, except where the law requires it:
- Engraved, personalized, customized, and built-to-order products, and special-order products obtained specifically for you
- LYNX Survival Systems survival kits, custom IFAKs, and custom medical kits
- Agency, government, organizational, and contract-built orders

Not sure whether an item qualifies? Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com before you order.
Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and other U.S. territories aren't eligible for free shipping, and extra freight charges may apply. If your order needs a shipping quote, we'll contact you before it ships. If you decline the quote, the order may be canceled and refunded. APO/FPO addresses are also excluded from free shipping.
International shipping is available on select products and destinations, and some products may be restricted from international shipping. You're responsible for import duties, taxes, customs fees, brokerage fees, and meeting your country's import rules.
Full details: Shipping Policy.
My package arrived damaged. What now?
Inspect your order when it arrives. If anything is damaged, defective, or wrong, email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery (5 days for food and drink) with your order number, a short description, and photos of the item and the packaging.
You don't pay return shipping on items that arrived damaged or wrong, or with a verified defect. Some items fulfilled by third-party suppliers follow that supplier's policy instead. Reporting after 7 days may limit our ability to pursue a claim with the carrier, and while we may help with a carrier claim, approval is up to the carrier.
Package lost or never arrived? Contact us within 7 days of the expected delivery date. For freight deliveries, inspect the shipment before you sign and note any visible damage on the carrier's delivery receipt.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Call (562) 294-6269, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific time, or email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com. We reply within one business day.
We'd rather talk you out of a kit that doesn't fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Current and former U.S. military, military spouses and dependents, and first responders, including law enforcement, fire, and EMS, can save up to 10% on most of our products through GovX ID.
Verify on our GovX discount page and you'll get a single-use code to enter at checkout. For later orders, log in with GovX ID for a new code (limit one code per day). The GovX code can't be combined with other discounts.
