Hey Kickstarters, first off, thanks for checking out my project!
__________________________________________________________________________
As someone who loves to hike, backpack, and just enjoy the outdoors I have owned and tried multiple survival tools; I'm pretty sure you have too. I was tired of carrying multiple devices (e.g. fire starter, tinder, flare gun, para-cord, etc.) and decided to merge everything into one simple, minimal, and lightweight tool; The Endure Survival Pen. If every day carry doesn't interest you, then this is just an awesome tool to add to your pack when heading out!
Why a pen? Because a pen is something most of us use in our every day lives from grocery lists and checks to notes and sketches. This makes it perfect for an Everyday Carry (EDC). Surprisingly enough, a pen in a survival situation can help dramatically (e.g. creating a map, keeping track of time, noting specific plants/landmarks, etc.).

The Endure Survival Pen has been designed with the worst case scenario in mind, LOST. The key to survival is being able to start a fire and being found. The Endure provides the tools to do just that, in any condition.
- Precision machined from Titanium for durability
- Ferrocerium Rod
- Flare Launcher (Can shoot flares, bear bangers, comet flares, and whistlers)- standard flares come in red, green and white.
- 3.5 Ft para-cord with inner core that can be used as tinder
- Multi-use spike, used for digging/snare post/breaking glass/etc.
- Ballpoint pen, uses LAMY M22 refill.
- Weight: Approx - 2.4 oz
- Length: 5.5 inches Diameter: 0.5 inches
PARACORD
What's so special about the para-cord? I have partnered with Live Fire Gear, LLC, who has created 550 FireCord. 550 FireCord is a special para-cord that can still be used like any other para-cord, but if required you can remove the red inner core and use it as tinder for your fire. The red inner core is a special blend that is flammable and works great in conjunction with the Ferrocerium rod.

I need your help to put this in your hands and others. I have worked hard bringing my rough sketch to reality, but I need funds to bring this full scale. Your money will be going towards:
- Production: Machining and tooling costs, obtaining quality titanium, bulk order for para-cord, custom springs and ferrocerium rods.
- Shipping and Packaging
- Continued production to offer the Endure after Kickstarter.
Please share this project and back if you can. Also feel free to ask any questions that I may have not answered. I am very transparent and keep my backers involved with every step of the project. Thanks!
