TINDERPACK

The Spark That Started It All

In the winter of 2018, deep in the Rocky Mountains, outdoor guide Mark Howard and his team were caught in a blizzard. Their matches were soaked, their lighter failed, and the frigid night left them shivering in their tents.

"If you can’t start a fire, even the most expensive gear is useless."

That moment ignited a mission—to create reliable, no-compromise tools for the wild. Thus, TinderPack was born.

Forged in the Flame Lab

Mark turned his Colorado garage into the "Flame Lab," testing 137 materials to engineer gear that wouldn’t quit:

• Aerospace-grade titanium fire starters—indestructible, even after a cliff fall.

• Volcanic-coated ferro rods—sparking at -30°F (-34°C).

• Bioengineered tinder—lighting fast, even in rain (Patent: US202214TDP).

"Gear shouldn’t be a luxury—it should work when you’re at your worst."

From Skepticism to Survival Stardom

When TinderPack’s first product, the $89 EmberStrike Firestarter, launched in 2020, critics called it overpriced—until survivalist Alisa Wu live-streamed lighting a fire in a hurricane. The internet erupted:
"Expensive? It saved my life."

A Community Fueled by Adventure

TinderPack doesn’t use celebrities—it champions real adventurers:

• Custom saltproof kits for Alaskan fishermen.

• The "1% for Wildfires" initiative—planting trees with every order.

• The #MyTinderPackMoment UGC campaign, collecting thousands of raw survival tales.
