"Wear your wood, Timber!"
TIMBER COLLAR
(Easy light pinewood/resin pendant with tinder, striker, ferro, and survival cordage)
We've threaded paracord thru a carefully sanded pendant of Pine Fatwood (lighter wood harvested from the high resin heart of pine tree stumps). This pine pendant can be shaved to create slivers of quick lighting tinder. The pendant is wrapped with 6 feet of fibrous beeswaxed jute twine (fire tinder). We've also tucked our curated Shelter Nail (striker) and a firestarter ferrocerium rod under the jute. A ranger band (also tinder) further snugs the Timber! pendant together. The necklace's size is adjustable andmeant to be worn around the neck.
1. Paracord, Type III, 550lb: Replace shoestrings, make a bow saw, lash together logs to create a raft, make a bear bag, use as fishing line, tie down gear, create snare traps, fashion a clothesline or tent frame, etc. Contains 7 Nylon Strands. 35lb rating per strand. Utilize the inner strands of paracord sheath as fishing line, sutures, sheltering lashes, strapping, etc.
2. Fatwood Pendant: Kindling/tinder pinewood retrieved from high resin/sap from the heartwood of the stump. The wood chunk is rich in terpenes and saturated with the pitch which makes it both highly flammable and nearly water and rot proof. The natural amber hardness allows for small shavings to be chipped off to conserve the pendant for making many fires. Use the savings as tinder or the entire chunk as kindling. Each pendant is drilled to thread cord thru. The sanded and nearly smooth pendant is approximately 2.5"x0.5"x0.5"
3. Fire Starter Ferrocerium Rod: 2" slim rod. Start a fire, scrape slowly to shave off black covering before use, strike quickly with included Shelter Nail to ignite tinder, reflect sparks into nest of tinder.
4. Waxed Jute Tinder: 100% Hemp rope, 20lb tensile strength, infused with beeswax, burns like a candle wick. Has an extended burntime.
5. Ranger Band: Fire tinder(30 second burn time) but intended to secure smaller items to your pendant.
6. Shelter Nail: This steel or (soon available in titanium) hammerable spike serves as the striker when paired with the included ferro rod. It is also a multi-purpose tool used to hang up gear to a tree, build a shelter, scrape/clean equipment, etc.
7. Adjustable Knot System: This lanyard can be adjusted to fit all sizes. Grab the area by the tied knots and slide back and forth to increase/decrease size. A great amount of force will cause the ties to unravel, (this helps prevent strangulation hazards).
