Waterproof Matches
This box set contains 40 water proof matches that are dipped in wax. They are very durable and easy to light on the side of the box. The produce a better flame then regular matches because the wax also acts as fuel to the flame allowing the flame to burn a little longer.
Fire Starter Kit
I really like this product because it gives you more then one option to choose from when starting a fire. The best part is that it is very simple with only five items that are vital to starting a fire.
Includes:
2 Fire stixs
1 box of Waterproof matches
1 flint
1 tinder capsule with 5 cotton balls (added Vaseline or Lighter fluid)
1 Water proof
