When Safety is Your Priority, Go FlareSafe!

FlaresafeLike the UFO, Lochness Monster and Boogeyman, there is no such thing as too safe. We only get one shot at life and we want it to be as safe and pain free as it can get. When traveling outdoors, there is no better safety equipment than forethought, knowledge and the new 3 in 1 FlareSafe. Since safety is our primary concern, the designers of Flaresafe took it upon themselves to combine a powerful LED flashlight, smoke detector and SOS distress alarm.

If you’ve been watching survival guides and other shows on surviving the great outdoors, you’ll realize that the important thing is to get help and get rescued. This device has 3 features essential to safety and getting rescued. The torch four LED lights features three settings, one for full beam, half beam and strobe. This ultra bright flashlight has a 20m focused beam visible for 2km. The optical smoke detector serves as a loud 90db fire alarm at 3m. If a smoke is detected, this survival gadget will automatically sound the alarm and turn on the torch. Finally the distress signal, 110 db of attention hungry noise that can be heard 500m away for over 60 hours.

No need for matches and lighters with the new Light My Fire Firesteel

The new Light My Fire Firesteel is the newest device that the Swedish Defence Department has come up with. Similar to the vintage process of striking a match by the side of a matchbox, striking your thumb by the wheel of a lighter, or just opening a tiny canister that makes up the actual lighter, the Firesteel, just by the name of it, lights a fire.

The Firesteel is made to be used outdoors, but it can also be used indoors for other purposes, such as lighting your fireplace. It is used initially by a lot of armies from different countries, but it found its way  to the heart of the common individual.

Other than the army, it is also being used by hunters, campers, fishermen, and survival experts.

The success of this amazing device comes from its durability and strength. It lasts up to a maximum of 12 000 strikes. It can also be used no matter the condition of the weather: snow, rain, intense heat. It can even be used when wet. To make it personalized, it can even be stamped with a custom logo. Other than lighting a fire, the spark it produces can even serve as an emergency signal.
