People like these need a fire starter that
is operable with one hand in case of injury, won't surprise you by running
out of fuel, and never fails to light in the wind, rain, or snow.
Survival Inc.'s Product Development Team,
led by a former U.S. Air Force survival training expert, crafted a
durable, lightweight tool so innovative it has a U.S. patent. The Blast
Match generates a stream of sparks three times the heat of a standard
match and easily will light any material (wood, paper, bark, cloth, or
man-made fire starting tinders) that a match will ignite. You can
accurately aim the sparks to ignite a roaring fire in any weather
conditions.
If the Blast Match becomes wet, simply wipe
it off and it is ready for use. In combination with Ultimate Survival's
Wet Fire Starting Tinder, you can start a fire even in the driving rain.
At the heart of the Blast Match is a custom
bar of high performance flint material. Spring loaded for compactness, the
flint bar also rotates 360 degrees to help prevent uneven wear and tear. A
tungsten carbide striker build into the striker button is set at the
perfect angle for maximum sparking - taking the guess work out of starting
a fire.
Incorporated into the Blast Match is a
safety feature to prevent inadvertent ignition when accidentally plunged.
The unique design requires the operator to press the thumb button in order
to engage the striker mechanism. As with all Ultimate Survival products,
the Blast Match has a lifetime warrantee, and will be replaced if you ever
wear it out.
