I didn’t expect much from the SURVIVE Permanent Match when I first added it to my camping gear. It’s a simple keychain fire starter, and I figured it would be handy in a pinch. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d end up relying on it.
One evening, while out in the mountains, things took a turn. Rain soaked everything, and I was left with damp wood and no other fire starter. I pulled out the small, metal match, honestly not expecting much given the wet conditions. To my surprise, after just a few strikes, I had a solid flame. That moment made me realize this little gadget wasn’t just for emergencies—it was a serious tool.
The fact that it’s waterproof is a game-changer. It sat out in the rain clipped to my bag, and it didn’t skip a beat when I needed it. The metal striker has a solid feel to it, and once you get the hang of it, lighting fires becomes second nature.
Having five of these in a pack is brilliant. I’ve got one attached to my keys, one in the car, and the others stashed away in my gear. I like knowing I have a reliable way to start a fire, no matter where I am or what the weather’s like.
For something so small and unassuming, the SURVIVE Permanent Match really delivers. It’s become one of those tools I don’t leave home without, whether I’m heading out on a big trip or just going about my day.
