Love this kuksa. Well made, durable, rustic and endearingly nostalgic. Lightweight and versatile, it’s the perfect weight to confidently bring along with you into the backcountry and the perfect size to sip on anything from camp soup to steaming oatmeal, and hot cocoa to cowboy coffee. It’s also super easy to clean up and take care of. Definitely recommend this.

Camp stove- tried it out last night, while prepping and packing for my upcoming short trip. She packs light in the pouch, 4 walls, base , cup support all fit well together; assemble time for me 3 and half minutes, you might be faster. Glad I made the Uberleben selection.

Match,lighter or ferrocium rod it ignites and burns as long as you need it to for you fire to go from a wish to reality. It fits in a pouch a pocket or a pen sleeve on a pack for convenient access. I keep mine in a slim pocket on a knife sheath with a striker and a Uberleben Hexa ferrocium rod. Not a lot of money for the convenience it offers you in fire starting.

I absolutely love my new ferro rod and couldn’t recommend it more! This is my first tool of it’s kind and I love the quality and ease of use. Certainly a camping must!

Of all the ferro rods I've ever used - Exotac, Mora, Light My Fire, TOPS, UCO, Wazoo - my Überleben rods are my favorites. Ferro rods can be too hard or too soft to be consistently effective. Überleben seems to have hit the sweet spot. Whether I'm using the provided striker or the spine of one of my knives, I'm regularly able to create a shower of bright, hot sparks. More importantly, I'm able to direct them where I need them. For a burly ferro rod that's easy to use in any environment, my choic...

I had a great experience ordering from Uberleben! I ordered my Uberleben Stocker Stove and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. A great addition to my back country gear! Thank you Uberleben.

I have a special place in my heart for this simple little stove! They were out of stock for so long and I was chomping at the bit in anticipation of them being available again. I finally got the message they were in, and I bought one THAT DAY! One of the best purchases I’ve made for outdoor gear. This stove is truly heavy duty and bombproof. Yes, there are lots of “twig stoves” on the market. I own several of them. NONE OF THEM is as well built and solid as my Uberleben. Period. Buy one, don’t ...

Use my tinder wick to lite my uberleben stove and Kelly kettle all the time . Lites very easily with The Kräftig rod and can be held like a big match to get the fire stoked. Snuffs our easily with the bellows tube and is ready for action the next outing. Great addition to any kit.

I have only had this product for a few days and will be using it for a two month stay in various Arizona State Parks. I did practice with it to be certain that I know how to use it. It definitely works as advertised! It throws lots of very hot sparks and on the first try I was able to easily ignite some dryer lint. It also easily ignited the wick / tube bellows that I purchased from you. It is a high quality product and I plan to purchase many additional items from your company.

The flat pack stove worked beyond what I expected. When the fire was going it produced a fair bit of warmth and we were able to cook on it with ease. If you are looking for something to burn wood in and you need it to be light and durable this is what you should buy!

Micky G.

So far so great. I've been on the hunt for a great stainless steel kettle for when I get into camping again, and the Uberleben kettle fits the bill. Compared to other companies that go with hard anodized aluminum, I think this one is better all around based off looks, simplicity and practicality. Looks because it's sleek, the handle can be changed in position, and the accent of the wood handle on top. Simplicity because it's stainless steel, and no rubber or plastic. Practically because you can ...

My son and I cooked with our flatpack stove and Kessel pot on a recent "outing" in my parents' back yard. Started our cooking fire with our "fatty" sized Ferro rod. Loving all our Uberleben products!!

Awhile ago I didn't have any luck finding a place to live so I stealth camped not far from where I work and at the time all I had was the tindar wick below which worked amazing for the last winter nights I had to endure. I own pretty much the entire set now, it's a feeling of peace of mind to know I'm prepared where ever I go.

Wanted to give this some real use and abuse out in the field before reviewing. Quality product! Trad size is all you’ll really need in the bush - even on an extended journey. First lighting of the Tindår wick will go easier if you rough it up a bit to expose the fibers.

The Uberleben 3 inch Hexa is seriously the best ferro rod EVER! You get the same amount of strikes as the 6 inch version but it is more compact. It is the perfect size for an Altoids tin fire kit and it’s just amazing. I live in a very suburban area and I might never need to use it in an emergency situation, but I never leave the house without it. Everyone should own one of these.

I was very much looking forward to receiving my Kuksa in the mail and it is everything I expected. Just a beautiful cup. Shipping was fast. This was my second order through Überleben and I’m looking forward to ordering more!

I love everything about my products from Uberleben. The product quality and finish is amazing. Also, the Zunden Fatty 1/2” is the perfect fit and matches beautifully with my Benchmade Bushcrafter sheath. I am super pleased with my purchase.

Brian R.

I recently purchased a 3 inch Hexa. I own several other Uberleben products so I knew it would be good even before it arrived. What I didn’t expect, was how much more efficient the flat surface would be when producing sparks. I have a Zunden Pro which will always ride on my knife sheath, but my new Hexa will stay on or near me forever. It’s TRULY the best ferrocerium rod I’ve ever used! Now to purchase the 6 inch big brother! Grab one of these (or both) while they’re in stock... you won’t be s...

Great ferro rod, really throws some sparks. The striker is a nice as well. It's bigger than most and much easier to use, and the tinder scraper is a very nice touch. Scrape some fatwood shavings, give it some spark, and you're golden. Thanks überleben, God bless

Stopped by the store in Bonner’s Ferry about a month ago... the character and passion of the people who produce a product is as important as the product itself. The fire starter and wicks work flawlessly, and are the guys (and gal) at the store were awesome. I keep them in my go bag and will be purchasing others for my wife and daughter. Thanks for the kit...

I love this wooden mug. It is my go-to for coffee and tea in the morning while van-living. I wax it with food grade wax and it’s holding up beautifully. It provides the perfect warmth for my hands as I’m drinking. Highly recommend.

I was so excited to take this thing and try it out in the field. Rain came out of nowhere while I was at the national park and this thing cooked damp wood like a champ. I used the uberleben tinder wick to light it and the bellow to keep it hot. I just bought a second one because I need two of these in my pack. If you are on the fence about getting the stove, just hit the button and get it in your cart. You will not regret this purchase I promise.

This 1/2” ferro is exceptional in quality and efficacy. It does exactly what you expect it to do every single time. Shipping was fast and follow up from Uberleben was impressive- they’re serious about product quality AND customer service. I especially appreciate their position on NOT pandering to paranoia and FEAR MONGERING as demonstrated by many (U.S.) field/camping gear companies. Bravo Uberleben, I’ll be utilizing your products in the future.

Andrea M.

Just as comfortable and earthy as I had hoped for. I bought both the large and small size. Each have their place—however I prefer the small size because it keeps my beverage hotter and I like a nice cup of black coffee and the natural feel is just relaxing!

Love my Kuksa it’s by far my favourite mug to drink out of. And when I had an issue with my second one Uberleben replaced it with no questions asked. Great customer service and a great mug. Will definitely be buying a third one.

Absolutely LOVE it. Did a few "test burns" before taking it to the woods. Here it is boiling H2O to reconstitute a Mountain House Beef Stroganoff. I LOVE the blue-purple patina the stove takes upon usage, (this one is the titanium version). Easy to set up, minimal weight and minimal carry space. The the flame was initiated by a Zunden fire starter along with your Tindar Wick. EVERYTHING works as advertised and I could not be happier! (hell, I'm giddy) The 2.0 "Kessel" is perfect for reconstit...

This is the perfect vessel for boiling H2O to reconstitute freeze dried foods. This will accommodate enough water to handle the (two serving) freeze dried foods I employ. This is a Mountain House freeze dried beef stroganoff that I cooked using your 2.0 Kessel, on top of your Stacker, Flat Pack Stove. As you can see I wasn't exactly "roughing it", but everything you offer works EXACTLY as advertised. Thank You Uberleben, for providing products that absolutely live up to their claims Good Job...

I received my Lore cup in a timely fashion, however there was a small crack (pretty sure it was a natural crack in the wood) that caused a slight leak. I reached out to Uberleben and showed them the issue, and they immediately shipped me a replacement. My new Lore is fantastic! I am enjoying it while in our ‘new normal’! I will definitely purchase from this company again!

So I have been in love with absolutely every product that I have purchased from Uberleben. I had attempted to get the Kessell pot 1.0 before it got sold out I had no idea that the Kessell pot 2.0 was in production at that point and was waiting and I could tell you what even without the pre-wrapped handle The Kessell pot performs just as good with every discipline as a kettle, a little pot for cooking, or anything I have not had any issues I made sure to take it's out a minimum of five times befo...

Living in a small space in the city. During the outbreak we're looking forward to some time in the woods. Excited to put this little spark to use!! Excellent craftsmanship and design. Always loved all Uberleben products. Can't wait to fill out the collection!

It was a delight to use, it made my camping weekend feel special, even when I camped in my backyard last weekend. Thank you! Cold drink or hot coffee works well. I have used both sizes and am happy with the product.

I bought this mug as field mug for motorcycle camping. With the shelter in place order still in effect, I have taken to using it as my morning coffee mug. I love the feel of the wood and the warmth of my morning coffee in the cup. I have been using it daily for over a week now. It's a solid morning friend.

Love my 12 ounce kuksa. Makes me want to get rid of all my other drinkware and replace with 3 more of these beauties. 12 oz is a great size. Coffee does not cool too quickly, water stays cool, and whiskey seems right at home. Great fit for cupping hands around, or using the handle. Zero disappointment, and have already ordered more product. Great job!

Bought my first Fire Steel 2 years ago and have made countless fires with plenty of life left for more. I recently ordered the same 3/8” Pro for my brother in law and he’s just as satisfied as me. Customer service has always been extremely well. Would recommend to any and everyone!

I was able to use this product recently and it worked great. I would highly recommend this oven to everyone who camps, hunts, hikes etc. It takes up little room and is so lightweight that it is basically unnoticeable. You will not be sorry you made this purchase.

I am seriously pleased, excited and enjoying my titanium uberleben stöker stove! The stöker stove is lightweight, easy to assemble and when the stove is assembled it is tight fitting so the pieces do not move around or wobble and is very sturdy. The holes in the bottom plate allow great airflow for the fire to breathe. The stove allows the fire to have a good updraft so your fire is pinpointed very well to whatever you are cooking. I have discovered that the opening in the front actually let's o...

All ferro rods are NOT the same! I made a wise choice in choosing my Uberleben Zunden Pro 3/8🙌🏼 Fits perfectly on my knife sheath and is now my faithful companion. I’ve never witnessed the explosion of sparks this gives with any other rod. WELL DONE UBERLEBEN!

Anne O.

Once I got my fire to start, my little Stöker stove worked marvelously well. Water was at a rolling boil in less than 5 minutes. It was easy to assemble and will be a fun thing to bring along on my next camping trip. Be sure to clear the ground where you use it. I had so much trouble lighting my fire that I neglected all the debris strewn around. Once it lit, the flames kindled some of the debris outside the stove. Alarming, but it was easy enough to stamp out. Rookie mistake.

Shipping and delivery was super fast! I started this fire with one strike, using feathered pine and about a thumb sized piece of dryer lint - very happy with the purchase. Will be getting one for each of my children.
