Build fire or die.

We believe that less is more. We believe in quality over quantity. We believe in respecting tradition, while continually challenging it. And above all, we believe that fire is absolutely non-negotiable.

Überleben is German word meaning to survive — and/or, to live. While those words appear the same, they're somewhat different. Fire is essential to survival. However, "survival" is not the reason we trek into the woods after work on a Wednesday afternoon. We’re doing this because something deep inside us is still whispering, “build fire or die”. Subconsciously, we're not attempting to escape physical death -- but psychological death. We long to live. Not merely survive. We're chasing the experience, and we exist to share that experience with others.

Sandwiched between Montana, Washington, and Canada -- Überleben is strategically headquartered in Bonners Ferry, ID. Literally, the best place on earth. If you're ever up this way, come say hi.
