UCO Stormproof Sweetfire Strikeable Tinder is a waterproof fire starter made from sugarcane waste (bagasse) and infused with vegetable wax. Each eco-friendly tinder point burns for up to 7 minutes, even in windy or wet conditions.

Key features

  • Stormproof and waterproof: it lights after full submersion
  • No matches needed: the strikeable tinder tips work with the striker on the box
  • Made from renewable materials: sugarcane bagasse plus vegetable wax
  • Long burn time of up to 7 minutes per tinder point
  • Compact and reliable, and great for camping, hiking, prepping, and bug-out bags
  • Survival-ready in extreme wind, wet weather, and emergency conditions

Unlike matches or lighters that fail when soaked, Sweetfire is a strikeable fire starter with a specially coated tip that lights using the striker on the box. It suits tornado preparedness kits, hurricane readiness, earthquake kits, or a night in the backcountry. The brand's listing shows packs of 8, 20, and 60 stormproof strikeable tinder fire starters.

Google review of our store

Six pieces for your first night in a tent

This kit covers one person's first night out, at a park campground or a campsite you hike to. It holds a sleeping bag made for nights as cold as -10°C, a foam pad, a stove with its own pot, a headlamp, a filter for lake water and a tent. The stove needs a fuel canister, sold separately. The tent sleeps two, so a friend with a bag and pad can share it. Already have a pad or a stove? Untick it before you add the kit.
