How to use
Open the protective container and remove a match. Hold the match at a safe angle away from your body and objects, then strike the match head firmly against the designated striking surface. Use the flame immediately to light a stove, candle, lantern or kindling, taking care to shield the flame from wind until it catches. After use, ensure the match is fully extinguished and dispose of it responsibly; reseal the container to keep remaining matches dry.
Usage recommendations
Store the matches in their protective container in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children. For best results in windy conditions, shield the flame while igniting and use dry tinder or a stove designed for rapid ignition. Include these matches as part of a multi-item fire-starting kit rather than your sole ignition source for critical survival situations.
