20 Stormproof Fire Matches

If your luck breaks the wrong way, it’s possible that the ability to start a fire could be a matter of life and death.  (On the less dramatic side, sometimes it’s simply nice not to have to fight to get a good fire going.)  These wind- and wetness-proof firestarters light up quickly when struck against the included striking pad, and they burn hot for 15 minutes—plenty of time to get a blaze going even in less-than-ideal conditions.  Even better, these are made from bagasse, a fibrous sugarcane byproduct and a popular renewable biofuel, and are infused with natural vegetable wax. Comes in a box of 20 with two lighting strikers built in. Each “match” measures 2 ¼” x 1/2”. Don’t head out on an adventure without them.

NOTE: The manufacture recently changed the size of these. The correct size of the "matches" is 2 ¼” long. The longer matches shown in the alternative images and the video are the older, longer matches which are no longer available.
