Ultimate Survival Technologies BlastMatch Fire Starter


Recently I held a training on gear for desert survival. One of the most popular items in my bag was this little fire starter, everyone wanted play with it and try it. Thought I would share.

The BlastMatch™ fire starter from Ultimate Survival Technologies generates three times the heat of a standard match.

  • Designed for all-weather use, the BlastMatch performs well in marine, arctic, desert and jungle environments
  • Spring-loaded flint bar rotates 360° to help prevent uneven wear
  • Tungsten carbide striker is built into the thumb button, allowing simple one-handed operation; user must press button to engage the striker
  • If the BlastMatch gets wet, simply wipe it off and it's ready for use
  • Compact size lets you easily pack the BlastMatch on every adventure

Made in USA.
