UCO Stormproof Sweetfire – Waterproof Strikeable Fire Starter for Camping & Survival
The UCO Stormproof Sweetfire Fire Starter is engineered for serious survivalists, campers, and emergency preppers. Made from sugarcane waste (bagasse) and infused with vegetable wax, each eco-friendly tinder point burns for up to 7 minutes, even in windy or wet conditions. And yes—it’ll relight after being submerged in water.
Unlike matches or lighters that fail when soaked, Sweetfire is a strikeable fire starter, with a specially coated tip that lights using the striker on the box. Lightweight, compact, and stormproof, this is your go-to fire starting solution for tornado preparedness kits, hurricane readiness, earthquake kits, or a night in the backcountry.

USING MATCHES
CAUTION: For outdoor use by adults only. Carefully monitor lit matches until completely burned. Store extra strikers in protective sleeves after use to keep dry. Store matches separately from strikers to prevent accidental ignition.
PERFORMANCE TIPS:
- For lighting a match, it is ideal if the striker is a firm surface which can usually be achieved by just closing the box.
- If striker and box become wet, the striker will still work, but needs to dry first so that the surface is once again firm. Use a spare striker until then.
- If matches become wet, just wipe dry before use.
SAFETY TIPS:
- Strike away from the body or in a downwards position. Be careful of bystanders.
- Be careful when striking the match since sparks can fly off the igniting head.
- After using the match, run it in water to be certain that it will not light anything else on fire.
