When making out your camping gear list, it is extremely important to include Waterproof Matches. Your life could depend on your survival skills for unexpected emergencies. Matches are necessary for campfire heat and or for your Camping Stove.

Since fire is such a large part of your Camping and survival success, we strongly recommend you offer at least two ways to start a fire, with waterproof matches and a lighter. The most surefire way to start a fire is with matches. Paper matches tend to get damp with moisture or humidity in the air. Why take a chance of your matches becoming wet or damp and put your life in jeopardy.

When emergency situtations happen, rest assured your matches will light with Waterproof Matches. Why not make your own waterproof matches and save money year after year. We highly recommend the use of stick matches to start. The rugged construction of these stick matches will hold up and can be stuck on most hard surfaces. The stick matches come in a box of 100 per box. So you can do the whole box at one and have them for years.

Making Waterproof Matches is a very simple process. You can heat wax or even just light a candle and carefully dip the head of the match in the wax until it is totally submerged, pull the match out of the wax, and let cool. Some people like to wax the entire stick match. It is not necessary to do this.

This puts a wax layer around the match and you can rest assured the match will light even if it has been submersed in water. As an added bonus the wax will help the match burn hotter and longer with the wax on the tip. When your stomach is grumbling for food after a long day, you’ll be glad you took a few moments to prepare these waterproof maches and added them to your  

You can store the homemade waterproof matches in sealable plastic bag or match case. Cooking food and staying warm are important wherever you go.
