UCO Stormproof Match Kit — Windproof Waterproof Camp Matches

The backup for when the lighter quits. UCO Stormproof match kit: 25 windproof, waterproof matches, 3 strikers and a floating waterproof case that holds up to 40 matches.

Why we pick this

Lighters die, get lost or get soaked at mud fests like a wet Lost Lands or Bonnaroo. UCO says these burn up to 15 seconds each and relight after being dunked. That's our backup. Many fests limit open flame or propane in general camping, so check your fest's stove rules before you count on cooking.

• Festival fit: Rainy and windy fests, and every camp's emergency kit.
• Heads up: They burn hot and long. Strike away from you, and check your festival's fire rules.
• Lived-in tip: Keep the case in the stove bin so the backup is always with the stove.

Safety notes

• Keep flames clear of tents, shade cloth, and dry grass. Respect your festival’s fire rules and any burn bans.
• Keep out of reach of kids.
