Everstryke Pro Review
Everstryke Pro is a “waterproof match” that comes in the form of a small, capsule-shaped keychain attachment. Here’s our review of Everstryke Pro.
What is Everstryke Pro?
Everstryke Pro is a fire-starting device that promises to help you start a fire in any conditions. The device comes in a thin metal tube and produces a flame. It’s categorized as a “waterproof match”. This is a bit different than the popular Inferno Lighter which is a dual beam electric tactical lighter.
You can attach the Everstryke Pro to your keychain using a little hook. Even after being soaked in water, the Everstryke Pro promises that it will easily be able to start a fire.
With the Pro version, Everstryke claims to have improved the design and added new features like a replaceable flint. The Pro version also purportedly lasts 10 times longer and has a replaceable wick.
As part of a recent promotion, the makers of Everstryke Pro are giving away some downloadable eBooks and survival kits with this promotion.
Should you use the Everstryke Pro as your next fire starter? Let’s take a look at how it works.
How Does the Everstryke Pro Work?
The Everstryke Pro works using a ferro rod and a wick. The flint and wick are both totally replaceable.
After activating the lighter, the ferro rod strikes at over 3,000 degrees, causing the flame to burn at over 600 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the manufacturer.
You’re going to have to wait a while before replacing the wick and ferro rod on the Everstryke Pro: the manufacturer claims that each match is capable of producing 15,000 long-burning strikes. Additionally, a built-in O-Ring prevents fuel from evaporating indefinitely.
Whether you need it to light a cigarette or to survive in a dangerous situation, the Everstryke Pro claims to be a perfect fire starter to have nearby for unexpected situations.

What is the Family Protection Association?
The Everstryke Pro is designed to entice you to join the Family Protection Association, or FPA. That membership is priced at $19.95 per month or $97 per year.
Joining the FPA gives you access to some exclusive benefits. You can follow along with master video training courses online, for example. You can also download a podcast produced by FPA experts. You get a membership certificate, an official membership card, and access to a private group page.
The FPA, like Survival Life, is operated by a group called the Association Management Company. The Association’s About page claims that it is “dedicated to the pursuit of health, happiness, and prosperity for every American family” by giving its members the “knowledge, tactics and skills necessary for survival.”

Should the Everstryke Pro Be Your Next Lighter?
The Everstryke Pro seems like a lot of marketing hype around one small lighter. The lighter is priced at $6.95. The manufacturer claims that price just covers the shipping and handling costs of the lighter, and that you’re getting the lighter for free.
However, since the lighter is small and made from basic materials, that $6.95 might as well be the full sales price for the item. Nobody gives away stuff for free on the internet without expecting something in return, and the Everstryke Pro lighter is likely being sold at a profit.
If you want to pay $7 for a basic lighter, then the Everstryke Pro may be your next “waterproof match” for survival, camping, or lighting a cigarette in the rain. But don’t be fooled by the marketing: this is just a basic match with a cap on it.
