Ive spent some time going through various versions of what I like to carry in my belt pouch. I think Ive finally settled on what I like to carry for my EDC and fire Kit.

Starting with the Badger Claw Outfitters belt pouch. To this I have tied a Dragons Breath ferro rod with braided 3mm paracord and a beaver bushcraft striker. Badger Claw also does a nice version of a striker. I never use the ones supplied with ferro rods. Tungsten or tempered 01 steel works much better. I braided the paracord so it doesnt tangle.

I have a small Altoids tin for emergency tinder supplies. Including ; Baddest bee fuses, wazoo fire card, tinder wick, magnesium rod, fresnel lense for solar fire starting, this is also where I keep my sail needle so I dont loose it. Everything is secured with a Ranger band.

In the main pouch I keep; fallkvien DC4, UST Trekker butane lighter. Im not a fan of BICs, although I always keep one in my pocket. UCO matches for a backup in cold weather, Nano candle, Pinceton Tech headlamp. The one pictured is a FRED but I also like the Byte. I carry 4 feet of lawn mower pull cord. This has more traction than 550 paracord for a firebow. I have two other forms of knife sharpening which I dont always have included. A small ceramic rod and an Ezesharp diamond steel for quick touch ups. Depending on the knife grind. Ive gone away from Scandi’s.

The last two items are from Beaver Bushcraft a ferro rod striker but as mentioned badger Claw also do a nice version and a bearing block for a firebow of which Ive tied paracord to use in different methods.
