The Captain's Loot Fire Starter Kit

The Captain's Loot is a complete fire-starting system built for people who need fire to happen on the first attempt, not the fifth. It includes three Black Beard Fire Starters, a heavy-duty ferro rod, a purpose-built organizer, and a Black Beard Velcro patch, all bundled at $27 below the cost of buying each piece separately.

The Fire Starters

Each Black Beard Fire Starter is a length of braided cotton rope soaked in a blend of odorless, non-toxic waxes and oils. This makes it waterproof, windproof, and gives it an unlimited shelf life whether opened or not. Cut off what you need, throw sparks from the ferro rod onto the exposed fibers, and build your fire around it. One rope lights up to 50 fires and burns for over 4.5 hours. Three ropes means more than 150 fire starts and over 13 hours of total burn time.

The Ferro Rod

The Black Beard ferro rod is 1/2 inch in diameter, which is much thicker than the rods that come with most budget kits. Thicker means more sparks per strike and a longer lifespan, up to 20,000 strikes. At 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, these sparks will catch tinder in wet or windy conditions where a lighter or match would fail. Seven feet of paracord is attached for a better grip and extra utility around camp.

The Organizer

The Fire Kit Organizer holds everything together and keeps it ready to use. Inside there are two slip pockets, 12 elastic loops for smaller tools, and a swivel clip. Outside there is a Velcro pocket, a MOLLE panel for attaching to a pack or vest, and a carrying handle. There is plenty of room to add your own extras like tinder, a lighter, or a compass.

Out in the Field

This kit is especially useful when natural tinder is wet or hard to find. The wax-soaked rope will ignite even after being submerged in water, which makes it a solid choice for kayaking trips, rainy season camping, and early-season hunts in wet climates. The MOLLE panel keeps the whole organizer on the outside of your pack so it does not eat into your interior space. At $63.95 for a complete, organized fire system, the price is hard to beat compared to buying equivalent gear from outdoor retailers.

Curious About Sizing?

Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

 

Jacket & Shirt Sizing

In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

14"-15" PtP = XXS

16-17" PtP = Extra Small

18"-19" PtP = Small

20-21" PtP = Medium

22-23" PtP = Large

24-25" PtP = Extra Large

26-27" PtP = XXL

28-29" PtP = 3XL

Pant Sizing

We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
