The KODIAK, Re-Defining Survival:

Integrated fire starting buckle, fire starting tinder, braided fishing line, and fishing hook, always on your wrist, so you can Live to Talk about it!

Throughout the past year and a half, we have come a long way and have developed market ready prototypes that have been throughly field tested. During this journey we have spent countless hours with CAD software, turned a drill press into an end mill, sacrificed several kitchen knives, super glued our fingers together, caught fish, and started lots of fires. We have met and corresponded with several vendors and have positioned ourselves for the next milestone. Quotes are in, plastic mold injection tooling, custom labels, and custom survival cord are ready to be made. We are grateful and excited that you are joining us in this endeavor.

We came across a survival braid made of Paracord…then it hit us, let’s make it truly useful and functional. The inner core of Paracord is typically composed of many nylon strands that may be used as emergency fishing line…but last we checked we never caught a fish without a hook…so we fashioned in a bait hook and took it from “could be used as” to “can be used as fishing line”. Mike was so excited that he convinced his dentist to take this X-Ray of it. Thanks Dr. J. Ipson!

Prior to starting this project we conducted patent searches and throughout this entire project we have been very diligent in protecting our intellectual property, it has been an incredibly fun journey and we are stoked for the opportunity to now share it with you. Thank you for your support!

We understand that a timely fulfillment of rewards is extremely important to our backers. We have already identified time and resources needed to complete this project. We have cultivated relationships with reputable US companies and have honed our jigs to expeditiously assemble these Kodiak Survival Braids. We understand the fulfillment requires team work and a good plan…a living plan that we can adjust for growth. We have made connections with individuals in the textile industry and know that we can expand with growth. We are committed to a quality product.

We are confident we can deliver your rewards to you this August, but we ask for a little wiggle room just in case we need to assure a quality product on your wrist.

We are grateful for your backing and stoked to take the KODIAK to market, so you can Live to Talk about it!
