    SweetFire Stormproof Matches – 20 Pack

    This is a new STORMPROOF version of the popular award winning Sweetfire Strikeable Fire Starter. Stormproof means that it will relight after being submerged in water. The advantage of the sweetfire over a normal waterproof or stormproof match is that it includes tinder in the ‘point’. Light the ‘point’ just like a match and it will burn for 7 mins to help you start a fire like a boss. Go prepared!

    This new Stormproof Sweetfire is not only sweet for your gear collection, it’s sweet for the planet. Made from a sugarcane by-product called bagasse, this key ingredient is already used around the world as a renewable biofuel. Each of these match points (there are 20 per box) is infused with vegetable wax to allow for up to 6 minutes of burn time per each point. There’s also no need to bring matches to light the Sweetfire as each match point has a strikeable tip that can conveniently be used with the striker on the box.

    FEATURES:

    • Made from sugarcane waste — Bagasse is a fibrous sugarcane by-product and is used around the world as a renewable biofuel.
    • 20 individual “˜Points conveniently connected & ready to break-off and use.

    BlastMatch Firestarter by Ultimate Survival Technologies

    Sold Out

    The BlastMatch Firestarter by Ultimate Survival Technologies was designed for all-weather use, and this revolutionary flint based fire starting system performs superbly in the most extreme marine, arctic, desert, and jungle environments. The Ultimate Survival Technologies BlastMatch was designed for Air Force fighter pilots at risk of being shot down in rugged terrain, or the mountain climber contending with challenging alpine weather. People like these need a fire starter that is operable with one hand in case of injury, won’t surprise you by running out of fuel, and never fails to light in the wind, rain, or snow. Why would you want anything less than the best?

    The patented BlastMatch generates a stream of super heated sparks literally three times the heat of a standard match. You can easily light any material (wood, paper, bark, cloth, or man-made fire starting tinder) that a match will ignite. Best of all, you can accurately aim the sparks to ignite a roaring fire in all weather conditions, and the BlastMatch will last a thousand strikes.

    If your BlastMatch becomes wet, simply wipe it off and it is ready for use. In combination with Ultimate Survival Technologies WetFire Tinder, an all weather starting tinder, you can start a fire even in the driving rain.

    At the heart of the BlastMatch is a custom bar of high performance flint material. Spring loaded for compactness, the flint bar also rotates 360 degrees to help prevent uneven wear. A carbide striker built into the striker button is set at the perfect angle for maximum sparking – making it easy for you to start a fire.

    The BlastMatch is also perfectly safe. To prevent accidental ignition the unique design requires you to press the thumb button in order to engage the striker mechanism.

    WetFire Tinder Pack of 8

    WetFire Tinder, the perfect accompaniment to any fire starter, can help you get a blaze going even in a downpour. In fact, the cubes actually burn longer when wet!

    WetFire Tinder was born from the need for a universal lighting material that was safe, odorless, easy-to-carry, and unaffected by wind or water. Elite military troops can find themselves anywhere, in any kind of weather. They require something that will light a fire in a rainstorm if needed, yet extinguish instantly to avoid detection, leaving virtually no residue, no odor, no smoke.

    WetFire Tinder is the best fire-starting tinder material available anywhere in the world. It is individually packaged in a lightweight solid cube form that cant leak or foul up your other gear. It leaves none of the residue of inferior petroleum-based products and is non-toxic. The cubes burn without smoke and can be started even in high winds and nasty weather. In fact, the tinder burns while floating in water.

    WetFire Tinder burns at over 1300 degrees yet cools almost instantly when snuffed out. A small pile of shavings is enough to start a campfire, warm your hands, or pre-heat a backpacking stove. Always have some of these cubes available when you go outside.

    While WetFire was developed for military personnel, anyone who needs to start a fire can benefit from this amazing fire starting tinder. For decades, mountain climbers have struggled with gooey fire starting gels to light their stoves at high altitude. Not only messy, these gels are hard to use. At high altitude you have enough to worry about without wasting energy trying to light an uncooperative stove. With WetFire Tinder, this problem is solved. Just sprinkle a small amount of tinder shavings around the backpacker stove, and it lights instantly. No goo, no mess, no hassle.

    • (1) Grabber Esbit-Style Folding Pocket Stove: Stainless Steel! Use the 8 fuel tabs that come with it, or use whatever is around. This compact (3 in. x 4 in. x 5 in.), sturdy, and lightweight (3.2 oz.) pocket size stove is an extremely efficient cooking tool designed for a variety of uses in the outdoors. It opens to two locking positions: fully open to support a frying pan or pot, or angled position for heating a cup. Plated stainless steel design is extremely durable and will not rust. Two supporting side panels help block wind and direct heat upwards. Store unused fuel tabs inside stove while not in use.

      Packaged with (8) eight Solid Fuel Tablets. Fuel tabs reach up to 1400 deg. F and burn an average of 10-12 minutes. The fuel tablets are non-toxic, odorless, and emit no harmful vapor. They are stable at temperature extremes, and leave little residue. They will not self-ignite, and can be extinguished for re-use by hard blowing.

      When the fuel tabs run out, no worries: you can still feed the stove while a pot or cup is on it with small sticks, dry grasses … anything around you that will burn. You cannot do that with a typical backpacking stove, and that makes this stove great for survival kits and emergency preparedness!

    • (1) Spark-Lite Military Edition Firestarter: When it comes to starting a fire, nothing touches the Spark-Lite for functionality and ease. The official fire starter of the U.S. Military, the Spark-Lite is simply the best. One should be in every backpack, bug out bag, survival and emergency kit that you own.

      Designed as a one handed fire starter in case of injury, and more reliable than a lighter (that can leak its fuel), The Spark-Lite Military Edition Firestarter is relied upon by U.S. Military forces .

      To use this simple tool, just pull a Tinder-Quik Fire Tab from the plastic case and ignite it with the Spark-Lite. Tinder-Quik is waterproof and will burn for 1-2 minutes, giving you plenty of time to get your fire started. Importantly, the Tinder Quik Fire Tabs can be used directionally, unlike tinder powders, gels, or even tinder cubes. This means that you can light the Tinder Quick Fire Tab and then light several prepared areas more easily than you can with other commercial tinders.
      FEATURES:

    • Extremely light weight
    • Simple to use
    • Works with a variety of materials you can find outdoors such as milkweed and other fibrous materials
    • Allows for easy single handed operation

    • Comes with 8 Tinder Quick Fire Tabs
    • Other small items can be added to the Spark-Lite to turn it into a mini survival kit. Some can fit in without removing any Tinder-Quik, other items take up more space so a piece or two may need to be removed. Here are some ideas:

    • Small hacksaw blade or razor blade
    • Mini-compass
    • Small file
    • Safety pin(s)
    • Mini-light such as the Photon Freedom.
