Don't EVER be caught in a emergency situation without our waterproof matches!

If you want to survive any dissater situation then waterproof matches are an essential component of any survival kit. No matter what kind of adventure or disaster you may be in or type of extreme weather you may encounter, waterproof matches are essential in your emergency preparedness arsenal.

Why you need waterproof matches
Imagine you're backpacking in the high mountains or even worse; an earthquake or another type of natural disaster has occured. You'll be fine if you have waterproof matches available. Gas or electric stoves are down because the powers out. You may be forced to make fire on your camping stove to cook or perhaps you may have to start a signal fire to alert someone to your position, or if necessary, for warmth.

How to care for your waterproof matches
Our waterproof matches come with a striker strip on the outside of the box, but just to be safe, you should wrap your water proof matches in Saran plastic wrap or keep them in specifically designed waterproof container. Due to the way they're made, waterproof matches have a long shelf life and cannot light accidentally.

A nearly perfect guarantee of a fire
To nearly guarantee yourself a fire in almost any disaster situation, I would suggest that you create a combination of a cheap fire starter and waterproof matches. Remember, there's safety in numbers so it smart & definitely worth it worth it to pack more than one box of waterproof matches. I would suggeste in two different areas of your survival backpack this ensures that you'll be able to light your stove or start a campfire when you need to.

One last survival tip...
After you get your waterproof matches, take them all out of the box, then get a candle burnikng and dip the end of each match in the melted wax near the wick. Why? This makes double sure that your waterproof matches are even more waterproof.

Finally, as you add these matches to your watertight match box, include the two strikers that are on the sides of the box. These waterproof and windproof matches are the answer to your survival or emergency preparation needs and Unlike ordinary matches these will light even after being wet or in damp conditions.
