Just goes to show the importance of knowing how to get a fire going with only materials found in the woods, yes even in the worst of conditions. Homemade firestarters are much more economical. Great honest review as always. Thank you.

Thanks for the video Luke! I have never used those types of starters when it came to building a fire. Though we dont ever hardly build an outdoor fire, in the past we always used the firestarter bricks like you use in a woodstove of fireplace. Usually made of sawdust and you just break them up and light them.

I got some when the small ones first came out. I really liked them as I do the matches also. What ever is left over if they go out has value. You can ignite it with a ferro rod, AND....... you can char it and use it like char cloth.

Probably perfect for backyard and car camping uses. As for backcountry backpacking use, I don't think they would apply there. If you know how to use a ferro rod and natural materials, supplemented with Vaseline cottonballs that is all you need for short term backpacking trips.

I feel like you're cons are a tiny bit harsh for a reasonably cheap match, however you did say there are better options out there, did you create a video subjecting them to the same tests already or would it be an idea for the future. Thanks for all you do. Be well! ❤😀

Maybe not totally water proof, but still impressive that at 6:26 it but back into flame after you dumped bottled water on it. Vaseline cover cotton balls won't do that.

It's a good backup. I try to have different types of starters with me. They should put on the package that only the tips are wind proof and stormproof. Totally agree with you.

Great video and not a bad product. It's not for me though. For Fire Starting I use a number of different items. Lighter, Fire Steel and my favorite the Flint and Steel. For Tinder I carry either Vaseline Impregnated Cotton Balls hit heavily with Magnesium Shavings, or Face Wipes impregnated with Magnesium then dipped in Wax. These are great with either the Lighter or the Fire Steel. They light easily and they burn hot enough to get wet wood going. For the Flint and Steel you have to look for a suitable Tinder and it takes practice to find it. (I do happen to carry some in my Pack if I'm out in the wet.) Ed

I like making a fire can I carry one in each of my loadouts, they burn hot and long. And they're reusable, you can start fires with them boil water and help keep you warm when used in conjunction with a heat sheet. And when used up you can use the tin for making char cloth

Though not totally stormproof they are still pretty good it looks and burn time ought to allow one, with some preparation start a fire. They are pretty compact compared to a lot of the DIY starters and a package of 5 thrown in the kit could be useful.

Just marketing when they say "Waterproof & Windproof". They actually did light back up after the water and wind. I say good enough for a family camping trip and letting the kids play with fire. Maybe in a get home bag. I prefer my good ol'ferro rod and back-up Bic.

Well your Dousing them with water their supposed to work in like a rain storm we’re ur able to cover them not in a level five hurricane. I still believe these are the best things to have in your bug out bag especially with the ferro rod and ground up shavings of magnesium for easy fire starting in rain

Achilles heel of UCO products is that the striker board isn't waterproof. If that gets wet your screwed. Probably be a good idea to have a box of Choglans matches handy.

Dave Canterbury has a review of the UCO (pronounced "you co") matches and he drops them in water and buries them in the dirt amd they still burn.. Forget any of these ones and just get the regular giant matches.. Both products luke recently reviewed were not as good as the UCO stormproof match.

Take 3 of the regular lifeboat ones, wrap in jute twine and dip in wax. That gives you a super match better than these.
