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.

I started using the UCO Sweetfire fire starter sticks this season. They have become my primary go to for starting fires. Ive used them in wet conditions and in winter without fail. Ive used them in alpine conditions and in the damp Smokie Mountains in the springtime. One stick is all that you will need to get the job done. This has become an essential fire tool for me. Check out my video which features the sweetfire in action.

These really make fire starting quick and easy. Easy lighting and solid burn time. It was 10 degrees on my last trip so I really needed a quick and easy fire. These were perfect and I had a warm fire in no time.
