EG Ultimate Match -

[Broch]

Sadly, I can't make the Winter Moot this time around

Also quite impressed, would also work quite well as a flare. a Tenner for three is fair. With my firelighting skills I wonder if they,d give me a discount for bulk buy!
Shelf life is going to be the issue. Needs to be water/leak proof storage, but not too hard to unwrap.

If my hands get cold now I lose all feeling and circulation, Doc says its Reynards. I could just about get a stick into the ring to pull it but serious wrapping would be a problem even using teeth (while I still have them...)

In the meantime I think I'll make some of those DIY never fail matches with a balloon around them.

Whats your DIY never fail match?

Leigh from The Bug Out Shop had them on his channel a while back. Presume they were samples but don't know if he got any in to sell.

Hasn't put them on his webstore atleast, so might have to buy in person. I suspect there maybe hassle and legalities involved.

Edit: link was to wrong video.

As I said, it's discounted to £19 if you order 10 or so. So group buy would work but we couldn't then distribute it without incurring delivery charges or fuel charges

Tsk!!! Passive aggressive much?!

May as well have just send me an email with ' As per my last message ' in the header

I was thinking TeeDee’s Moot suggestion.

Yes - thank you - I was.

Strange. Without the free delivery code the delivery price was £19 or so, then when I added the code it didn't change!

This time I tried it keeps the £19.99 but doesn't add it to the total so the delivery is free - weird

Oh yes Broch.... VERY Strange!!!




( I am joking Broch !! Banter!! )

Hi @Tony - just want to check that this wouldn’t cause any issues for you on the forum as these matches are in essence a flare/pyrotechnic.

Would it be allowed for me to put up the option of a group buy for distribution at the Winter Moot, to save the £35 delivery charge per person? If you’d prefer not, I fully understand.

 

[Broch]

No, re-reading my post, you are right - I should have just said 'read my previous post' but I'm having a s**t day

 

[GreyCat]

Must be very specialist delivery beyond the usual stuff that requires an ADR (road Dangerous Goods) courier...... bearing in mind that stuff like isopropyl alcohol and bioethanol also requires ADR courier, (although also may be carried as Limited Quantities) and its nothing like that price.

So yeah, probably coming under one of the explosives category so rather more rules on carriage than the common types of Dangerous Goods...... in which case I'd also be finding out a bit more before buying as the UK govt may be a tad more twitchy about them than USA.

There is also the Pull Start Fire. Canterbury and a few others have demo'd it over the years. Also never seemed to appear on these shores.
