BlastMatch Fire Starter
If you spend time outdoors you should have a fire starter. Why not carry the one packed by those most at risk of facing extreme conditions?
Designed for all-weather use, this
revolutionary flint based fire starting system performs superbly
in the most extreme marine, arctic, desert, and jungle
environments. The Ultimate Survival Technologies’ BlastMatch™
was designed for Air Force fighter pilots at risk of being shot
down in rugged terrain, or the mountain climber contending with
challenging alpine weather. 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. Why would you want anything less
than the best?
The patented BlastMatch™ generates a stream of super heated
sparks literally three times the heat of a standard match. You
can easily light any material (wood, paper, bark, cloth, or
man-made fire starting tinder) that a match will ignite. Best of
all, you can accurately aim the sparks to ignite a roaring fire
in all weather conditions, and the BlastMatch™ will last
a thousand strikes.
If your BlastMatch™ becomes wet, simply wipe it off and it is
ready for use. In combination with Ultimate Survival
Technologies’ WetFire Tinder™, an all weather starting tinder,
you can start a fire even in the driving rain.
At the heart of the BlastMatch™ 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.
A carbide striker built into the striker button is set at the
perfect angle for maximum sparking - making it easy for you to
start a fire.
The BlastMatch™ is also perfectly safe. To prevent
accidental ignition the unique design requires you to press the
thumb button in order to engage the striker mechanism.
