Custom Gear Report

We’ve just been made aware of a new company, Exotac Inc. They describe themselves as “… a new outdoor gear company focused on designing and manufacturing extraordinary, high quality products.” Here is a bit of their history.

Exotac, Inc. is what happens when Engineers and guys-who-love-the-outdoors are combined. We are a privately held, family owned small business based out of Buford, Georgia. The company was started by a Purdue Engineering graduate with a passion for all things man and earth made. We combined some aluminum with a little dirt and the rest is history!

They are starting out with two products that will probably be of interest to our readers especially the EDC crowd and make great stocking stuffers.

The first is called the nanoSTRIKER™, a small ferrocerium fire starting tool made from Aluminum with a stainless steel cap and hardened steel striker. Small enough to attach to your key chain without adding much bulk but once assembled it looks like it is large enough to be able to be used comfortably.

The next product is the MATCHCAP™, a waterproof match case designed to carry all typed of matches from standard kitchen matches to strike anywhere matches to the longer weatherproof matches you find at camping stores. Another cool feature is that they have added striking surfaces for both types of matches.

Another thing I like, looking at their site, is that they offer all the little replacement bits like new o-rings, striker surfaces and even silicone o-ring lube, ha I said lube…
