Great Video SC Brother. Hard to beat the UCO matches. Used them camping in GA 7 months ago. Rainy weather , no problem. Thanks for the match Video! Have a great week!
The weatherproof matches now come with sandpaper inside box aswell as box striker. The biggest enemy of matches is longterm storage. The humidity kills them.
Old school technique for lighting a tobacco pipe in windy weather is to feather the matchstick very slightly so the wood catches the flame better, also if you wipe the feathered matchsticks in molten candle wax you both prevent water ingress and give fuel for the flame 😁
I take a uco storm proof match and drive it down the center of a tinder quick to increase burn time to approximately 2 to 3 mins...( the hole in tinder quick is made with an awl from a victorinox pocket knife)
Clear nail polish from bottom up works well to help keep waxed matches burning. Also waterproof match safes still work great with a piece of 60/80 grit waterproof sandpaper. Add a small tin filled with petroleum jelly soaked cotton balls or 2 tubes of lip balm 1 for fire starting, other’s for lip protection. Also if you’re in an area that
I'm wondering about the storm proof matches. Great if wet, but what about the striking panel on the box???? If the box gets wet will the striker panel still work to ignite the match??? I've never seen that done. What do you think? Are the storm proof also strike anywhere???
They are not strike anywhere & if the box gets wet it is very hard to use the striker panel. But, a good tip for ya, take some waterproof sand paper ( 3M flexible is what i prefer) and throw it in the box. Ive found multiple grits to work. Hope this helps!
I keep some uco stormproof matches in an exotac matchcase on my keys so I always have them on me I like to walk the trails throughout the chattahoochee national forest
I get strike anywhere matches at the local ACE hardware. they have always had them. I get the big kitchen ones and add them to each of the house kits i built for family members
I always hate seeing people put a bunch of matches in their bobs or ghbs without know matches are terrible. Now if you put the storm proof matches in there i understand but cheap dollar store matches arent gonna help you in a survival situation
Little sticks of pine and brimstone, a great idea and invention...!!
Thank you for your calm demeanor when you present your ideas. It makes a huge difference in communicating.
I like to include a SMALL STRIP OF SANDPAPER with all my survival matches to use as a striker. Sandpaper works much better than standard box strikers.
Excellent contribution. What grit of sandpaper do you use?
@@shanhutchison7332 a strip of 60/80 grit sandpaper would reliably work under most circumstances.
sandpaper can ignite match head ? Standard strike in matches box is red phosporus,
I like to include the ARMY ...as a survival match. I dont what happens if they get wet might not work.

I HAVE WATER PROOF MATCHES!!!! good job on the video!!!!!!!!

Thank You .
What they need to do is start releasing strike surfaces that are waterproof because if the box itself gets wet, those matches are useless
Amen to that. Strykers for matches are ridiculously poor performing.

Always enjoy your down to earth video's.
Thanks for the video. Where can I buy the red and white tip matches?
Nice review. Cheers

Bonjour So which one is the best ?
Survival Dispatch Insider uses names that are deep in the survival game
For whatever reason, I can't get my UCO matches to strike. Any advice?
I get strike anywhere matches at the local ACE hardware. they have always had them. I get the big kitchen ones and add them to each of the house kits i built for family members
Lol nice

I mean they could work? If the matches are protected and it’s not horribly windy it’ll be quicker to make a flame than a ferro rod haha
Hmmm Covid hair cut?
