How this fits a preparedness plan
If outdoor cooking is already part of your plan, a separate ignition method is worth keeping with the stove and fuel. UCO's Stormproof Match Kit includes 25 matches, three strikers, and a waterproof case. The manufacturer designs the matches to keep burning through wind and wet conditions. Pack the case where you can find it without unpacking the entire bag, and learn how the included striker works before a trip.
Weather resistance does not make a flame safe in every place. Never use a camp stove, charcoal, or other fuel-burning cooking equipment indoors, in a tent, or in a vehicle; fire and carbon monoxide are serious hazards. Observe local fire restrictions and weather conditions, keep matches away from children, and let spent matches cool before disposal. The case protects its contents when properly closed, but it is sensible to inspect the seal and striker periodically.
This kit is relevant to a person who already has a legitimate outdoor fire or cooking use. If your outage plan uses ready-to-eat food, matches may be less urgent than water, light, and communication. Confirm the 25-match kit with case, rather than the refill box or Titan variant, on Amazon.
