These are by FAR the best matches I have every used. I used to keep cashes of strike anywhere matches in various backpacks, vehicles and bags. No longer. I have replaced all of them with these matches.
The UCO matches are made of MUCH thicker wood then normal matches. So I can carry less then I used to because these are bigger and burn much longer due to having more wood to burn and more chemical compound to keep everything going. I would say striking one of these matches would be like striking 6 or 7 regular matches at once. Plus the UCO matches are waterproof. When you light these you cannot put them out. Put them under water, bury them in the dirt, stomp on them…you literally cannot put these out after they start burning. Which is exactly what I want. I will not use these to light candles at home. If I am out in the woods and my tinder is damp and my hands are shaking from the cold; I don’t want a little flame to get my fire going. I want a handheld inferno. That’s what you get with these matches. They burn so hot it will surprise you the first time you light one.
If you are looking for quality matches for a camping or survival situation, buy these. You will not find better quality, longer burning or hotter burning matches out there. No other matches I have found even come close to these. If you ever think your safety or life might depend on your ability to light a fire, buy these matches.
