BCB Survival Matches (Single Tub) – Waterproof, Windproof Fire Starter

The BCB Survival Matches (Single Tub) are designed for one purpose: dependable fire-starting in the most extreme conditions. Whether you’re lost in the wilderness, stranded at sea, or facing a power outage, these windproof and waterproof matches ensure you can ignite a fire when your survival depends on it. Trusted by outdoor adventurers, military personnel, and survival experts, these matches are a vital part of any emergency preparedness kit.

Each match is specially treated to resist both moisture and wind, meaning it will strike and burn even after being submerged in water or exposed to high gusts. Once ignited, the flame is strong and sustained, lasting long enough to ignite kindling, stoves, or emergency heaters. Unlike ordinary matches, these are engineered for survival—not just convenience.

The matches come packaged in a durable, waterproof tub that seals tightly to prevent moisture ingress. This plastic container is impact-resistant, compact, and easy to stow in a rucksack, life raft, or vehicle survival kit. It includes a striker on the exterior as well as spare strikers inside to ensure multiple ignition options even if one becomes wet or worn. Also included is cotton wool, which serves as a quick and effective fire-starting aid when dry tinder is scarce.

Ideal for use in marine environments, cold climates, and high-altitude expeditions, these matches perform where standard ignition tools fail. Whether you’re lighting a fire after a capsizing incident or trying to start a stove during a blizzard, the BCB Survival Matches provide the fire-starting reliability you need to stay warm, dry, and alive.

These matches are standard issue in many military survival kits, and are also a favorite among bushcrafters, hunters, campers, and preppers. Lightweight and inexpensive, they offer peace of mind in compact form. Their inclusion in SOLAS and NATO-compliant kits underscores their reputation for dependability and performance.

The BCB Survival Matches (Single Tub) are also compliant with international transportation rules for safety, making them ideal for packing into life rafts, aircraft survival kits, and offshore emergency packs. When conditions are unpredictable, having the ability to generate fire is not just a comfort—it’s a critical life-saving asset.

Whether you’re navigating the backcountry or preparing a maritime emergency kit, these survival matches deliver consistent performance in the harshest environments. With decades of proven field use, BCB’s fire-starting solutions are trusted by professionals around the world—and this single tub of matches is no exception.
