10 Best Waterproof Match Case

Has a chemical inside the matchstick that reignites itself when the flame goes out, which is how it stays live, don’t light one of these indoors for any reason and then blow it out and toss it thinking that the flame is out and then walk away, because it will reignite and then burn your house down. The same goes for outdoors. I can easily see how this thing can start a forest fire because it just doesn’t want to go out. I led one of these things at my sink and nearly freaked out when it wouldn’t extinguish.

It was even hard to extinguish it with water because, as soon as you pour water on it, the fire goes out and then lights back up three seconds later. This is a very dangerous product, be careful and do not take it lightly. You.

I was going through some of my fire-making materials and I noticed a trend. I’ve got a lot of the UCO starters. I’ve got the waterproof matches. I’ve got the sweet fire. I’ve got the storm proof matches in here. I’ve emptied the storm proof matches out of here, topped it off with a wet fire and then a bunch of the cheap dollar store matches. But these you can buy in this container from Walmart or anywhere you really wanted to. But uh I was just gonna go ahead and show you how some of these things work now the waterproof matches they’re pretty self-explanatory, but I figure.

If I’m gonna recommend you something. I need to show you that it works there. Nothing fancy they’re, just short waterproof matches. Obviously it’s go catch. Your cotton ball, pretty easy, you’ll notice, they’re not going out the easiest. So that’s always a plus. When you can count on your match, got a few boxes of these sitting around next we’ll go ahead and show off the storm proof matches. They say right on the package: windproof waterproof, oh, go ahead and open this box up. Let’s go come wrapped in some plastic right away: you’ll notice, there’s an extreme difference between the storm proof from the waterproof.

Let me hold them up side by side. You can get a good view. Extreme difference. You got wax here to prolong the life of the storm proof match waterproof match. Just has a little bit of that coating on the tip so that you can dip it in water and draw it off and it’ll still strike. The storm proof match we’re going to go ahead and take it got a strike on the side of the box is really easy, we’ll try to blow it out, can’t blow it out. If you try, that’s got a pretty good burn time to. Last but not least, we’ve got a sweet fire.

I picked this up for about three dollars at a little military. Surplus type store comes with your extra strikers, as does most everything you buy from them, but these things these are something else a little bit of Wax TIFF and then your typical looks like a Duraflame log chopped down. Now you also have a striker frit on the box. That gives you flame I mean that’s going to work really well it burns. They say it burns for about seven minutes. I’ve only used this once on a trip just to see how it worked.

Not the easiest thing to put out again say you got some wind resistance. There smash these fires out, I’ll move on to a little something now, with these use of materials, I’ll put together a little kit in an Altoids 10 I, wouldn’t necessarily call it a fire kit, it’s more of its own separate match kit, but you could get ample fire out of this got strikers everywhere, five of them on the inside, nothing on the outside, and you got some cotton balls. Some jute twine, there’s one of those sweet fires in there there’s a load of different matches in here, a load of them.

That’s all that it’s in here and it’s stacked deep, all the way to the bottom strikers everywhere you got plenty of tinder granted, you’ve got way more matches and you’ve got tender. But if you can’t find your own tender material in the woods, you need to practice your skills a lot better. Okay, there’s probably a few hundred matches here and one sweet fire here for an emergency that sweet fire, you’re more or less guaranteed a fire. Okay, if you can’t get a fire started with that, then I guess you could chop the tips off the matches or leave them on there and use these sticks instead of finding your own tender, but you’ve skills weigh nothing.

You’ve got to have them. If you don’t have skills, there’s no point in having all this to be honest with you and if you’re, not gonna practice with that, there’s no point in going out and buying it I’m not trying to sell you anything I’m, not trying to hurt your feelings, but if you’re not go practice with it don’t buy. This is my video on you, co company. They make a lot of great things. They make a lot of really good matches. The storm-proof matches are some of the best matches on the market.

The only other company I know of that makes a match. Similar is the titan company, but thank you for watching. Please like and subscribe drop a comment down. Let us know you’re watching I’m out.

Ok today, we’re gonna take a look at too much because it still has to do with fire and it’s a product of Zippo. This is the Zippo typhoon match kit, the typhoon match. Kids got 15, typhoon matches and a water-resistant case, and it’s a Zippo product. It’s got the Zippo logo all over it. Take a look at the back says: it’s equipped. You use this you’re equipped for any forecast shows the matches in the holder built to last easy ignition emergency ready, pocket-sized I’m, not too sure about that water resistant when resistant, reusable well, the matches not reusable, but the case is but here’s the manufacturing logo, simple, manufacturing company, bradford, PA manufactured two Zippos quality standards in china warning this product contains chemicals known to the state of california to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm, and it’s got an instruction manual inside.

So let’s take this thing apart and I try to put it together and see how it works, so the 15 matches go in. It’s got the kit that removable cap, this have a lanyard hole on it right there. Let’s put these matches inside the case. 15 matches: well, it’s only 14 now, because I was playing around with it before it’s about 10 11, 12, 13 s, 13, that’s good! I’m, gonna use one as a demonstration out this thing’s got a nice rubber seal full ring on it, and you can see it’s got the Zippo logo and it says t MK, typhoon, match kit on both sides and that’s the Stryker part down here.

It’s also nicely sealed, probably be waterproof. It does come with a couple extra striker pads and the only product I have that I can compare to you right now. Is this Coleman match kit? It’s a plastic case with I think it’s 15 matches, but the size difference is amazing. This is about one-third. The Coleman is about one-third, the Zippo size and it holds 25 yet yeah 25 matches in here they are a lot smaller and their wax dipped to be waterproof.

They’re, not dunk proof, but they are waterproof. It comes with a striker on the base. This is also made in China. Let’s see if we can do a dump test or a drop test. A lit drop test on one of these typhoon matches see if it lasts more than one dunking. Okay got that thing started: let’s do a dunk test see it’s really a lot of sulfur in it. Here’s the dunk test completely underwater, will it relight and there it did a real it everything it really itself after being underwater.

So that is definitely what I’d call pretty close to hurricane proof and a lot of sulfur in that one. So that is the typhoon match kit by Zippo, and this thing is not exactly what I’d call pocket-sized, because here is a this. Is a six ounce plastic jar of badiya, complete seasoning? This is really good seasoning. Let’s see almost the exact same size of that thing and that’s a handful, so that is the Zippo typhoon match kit 15 matches I’m down to about 13.

Now that would be a definitely uh something for the trunk for emergencies, but ah about a sulfur in here. Okay, it’s definitely a nice little kit to have, and it probably deserves a little cowbell. Oh look a bomb.

All right got some wood here. Gonna just get a small fire going using my Zippo typhoon gigantic match. Casey striker on the bottom shiny seems like it’s a pretty hot flame here, nice all right, so I thought I’d. Try to simulate a situation in which we drop the match in snow. I’ve got some good wet snow today, all right, so the match is going alright see what it does all right. You can tell it’s in the snow and it’s still burning it’s just like melting away, the snow.

Okay, it’s actually pretty cool! So again, I could drop this match in the snow, I’m building a fire. You a smother here. Look at that! It’s still burning. This thing is still going nice. We’re gonna be having some rain on and off again all day today and I wanted to see what this typhoon match. We do inside just if it’s left out in the weather, so we’re gonna go back in a couple of hours and I see what it does.

I’m gonna actually take my Nalgene here and we’re gonna jumpstart the match. By giving down. You know when the rain comes, we’ll see what it does. Time is right now, 11:05 you’ll see all right. So it’s about 14 2004, about three hours off and on it’s a little bit damp I’m, just gonna actually wipe it on my sleeve and I got the end here. Let’s see what it does. First, one didn’t go. No all right! So I wonder if that’s been totally waterlogged, we’re gonna dry this off a little bit.

I’m gonna! Try it on the side here now, so that kind of failed. This test, didn’t it after being waterlogged for that long. That match did not take. Do not want a light off this. Let’s see if it lights on fire, hit that piece down all right, so yeah, all that yellow part has worn off and I’ll try lighting it with one of my lighters here, smoking there. It goes all right. So that’s a pretty good! You know! That’s still that intense flame, this be sparkly, but so, after being really waterlogged, it still does light on fire.

Okay, pretty windy day down here in the gorge, see how these light in the rain and I actually did like I thought it didn’t light, but it actually did that wind. You can tell it’s burning down a lot faster, which makes sense I, guess these things are really hard to blow out all right, I, just gotta. Let it burn down I! Guess it’s cold! All right! So I wanted to run a simulation where I dropped my match on the ground.

What’s snowing here and I knocked my Nalgene over on top of it all right, so do it just like we would we’re gonna just kind of dry it off in my hand, here a little bit sometimes that gasket is tough to get off all right, sold it right up. Okay, I drop my match on the ground and let’s write up all right, so you can get our tinder going here. Nice matches are so hot. They like those fuzz, sticks right up, and with that love the fact you could be trying to light your fire.

You drop it in the snow. You pick it right up now on to the typhoon match case itself. Again, this is the biggest match case I’ve ever owned, because it’s so large, that’s that’s kind of a it’s a good thing, because the matches are long. It’s the only match case who would fit a match that long, but it weighs about two and a half ounces empty when I load it all up. It’s going about 3, 8 ounces. That said this is pretty much guaranteed to get a fire started, because it’s so big, if you put your matches in you, alternate them so upside-down side.

You can fit more matches in here. I think I’ve got nine matches in here, which is plenty and I have a room for three of the UST wet fire tenders. I also stuck an extra match pad in the cap. That’s inside plastic, and this thing is waterproofed. It floats, which is awesome I, like the fact that it has a cover over the striker pad again. This is a striker pad. I’ve been using the whole time and it’s not ready to be replaced yet, and you can replace these no problem.

Is this sticky tape so again that cover keeps it protected, so it doesn’t wear off, probably the one improvement that I did make to it as I added some of this. This glint tape, this reflective tape to the side of it. Just so, it’s a little bit more reflective at night, it’ll it’ll pick up the shine. A lot easier. I also have a long lanyard to it. This is Kelty trip tees cord, which again is a reflective cord.

Nice thing I’m getting in the winter here, I dropped that in the snow, that’s heavy. It’s got a sink to the bottom and it’s cord will be up at the top. So again, if I drop it in the snow, I’m gonna be I’ll, find my match case now again. For my purposes, this is a good standalone item I’m getting away from carrying a survival kit which I’m gonna do that in a later video. Why I’m getting away I’m carrying a kit but I still carry all my essentials, and this is a nice large, easy-to-use container that I can throw into my pack for emergency fire starting all right, so I’ve been using this typhoon match case and matches from Zippo we’re about the last month and a half.

It’s gone, backpacking lots of hiking trips, lots of field testing here, and this is kind of my final overview. The matches are really cool again. Look how long they are. These things burn between 20 and 30 seconds. Every time I’ve lit them such a nice long burn. You wouldn’t have a problem starting pretty much any fire with just one match: they do you can douse them in water. You can drop them in the snow.

They’ll still keep on going. That’s pretty awesome. One reason I, like the factor, so big is when your hands get cold, you start getting hypothermic. You lose all your fine motor controls. This nice big match look how you can grab onto it with your full hand and strike it, and that’s that’s a pretty nice way of making this match now kind of the the downfall of this match is that it is so long burning that a private wits not good for things like stove lighting right, because it only takes a second to light, your stove and guess what no now you’re sitting here.

You waiting for your match to burn out. So if we’re lighting, your stove I, probably recommend it again. It’s for good for fire-starting, especially for emergency fire starting kits annually. The other downfall I can think of is that it tends to be a little bit stinkier than regular matches, not a huge thing, but maybe for some of the hunters that are looking for odor control. It is a little bit smellier.

Everybody today we are reviewing the XO tack match cap. This is a survival match case and striker, it’s waterproof, which makes it really nice to carry waterproof matches or even regular matches, while you’re out camping or hiking or even hunting. You know, it’s really lightweight is to show you here. This is the gun metal version. They have a couple different colors.

This is the gunmetal color some screws right here you can see. It’s got this orange Oh ring right here to help keep the water out. It’s got a matt striker right here, it’s kind of cool because as a mass record here it has one on the bottom. This is a little bit coarser, that’s a little bit finer right there, but your matches go right in here. Here’s some these I’m taking these out the package yet, but those are some waterproof matches.

You can see how they just slide right down in there and this would keep it really safe. You know it should fit most matches if you have quite a bit of room there to slide them down in. Let me just show you how much this thing weighs. That’s one of the cool things about it. It really is a lightweight lightweight carrier. You know, doesn’t wait quite an ounce at point, eight ounces.

So this is an easy one to throw in your pack and not have to worry about too much adding extra weight or throw it in your survival pack. It’s got a little lanyard loop here, so you can throw it on the lanyard and keep it locked into place. You can wear it around your neck. If you wanted to or, however we just give you an idea how long it is with the land, your head and everything, it’s about three and a quarter inches long and you’re talking about probably just shy of an inch in width, so it doesn’t doesn’t take a bunch space at all.

So, like I said, that’s the gun, metal version, they also do a couple. Other versions, I believe they do an orange and a black as well. So it gives you some options. What you like I, really like this gun metal version, I, think it’s really sleek and good-looking, and that’s the other thing. It is a good-looking case too. You know we all are a little bit vain like things that look look sharp on this, so something great to carry throw in your pack.

Don’t a survival pack and carry with you. You know I think I’d recommend carrying something like that along with a fire starter, because you just never know you know it’s always good to have a backup. So I usually like to carry one of these and then a fire starter. Maybe you in the lighter as well, because one thing I never want to be without is fire so anyway come see us at mud, creek, calm and check us out a little bit further and see what else we have to offer.
