EG Ultimate Match -

[TeeDee]

EG Ultimate match - probably going to be available at somepoint.

Looks a lot like an American style road flare.

Whilst initially I was somewhat sceptical I could see definite merit in Winter or Water based activities where one is beyond the normal scope of recreational areas and immediate self rescue is a potential need.


Thoughts.

 

[Kadushu]

Exactly that: serious cold where your fingers might not be up to working a lighter/matches/etc.

 

[Pattree]

Impressed.
Lights underwater.
Burns underwater
100% waterproof container coming soon they say.

£10 for three! (Dunno p&p)

That does look good.
I’d want to know shelf life because this would sit in the car for a long time.

Edited to add:
Cold doesn’t stop you building your fire so it dries you and the fuel optimally, rather than just heaping up sticks and calling it a fire.

 

[Falstaff]

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.

Condom.


I've a few I've no use for anymore.

Yikes.!!

‘Specialist’ delivery? A specialist in what?! A specialist in rectal exams at that price!

 

[slowworm]

It may be classed as hazardous. Shotgun cartridges, reloading powders, primers etc can only be sent via certain couriers so costs can be high.

Spend £100 and you get free delivery...

 

[Broch]

Yep, even if you knock it up to over £100 the free delivery option doesn't work but it does drop down to £19. It sounds as though the item is classified as 'dangerous' or something and requires special handling

Edit: sorry, cross post - but the free delivery doesn't work

I do wonder if these fall under the pyrotechnics umbrella of deliveries. - Enola Gaye do alot of flash bangs . smoke bombs for the Air soft community.

I wonder if they would do a discount delivery to a Bush Moot.

Just find out how they are made and make your own.....

 

[Chris]

Maybe a group buy?

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

 

[Falstaff]

Ah, there's a shipping problem in the UK not of the UK Resellers making. Sloworm is right, they are classed as Hazardous so he is obliged to use a specialist courier, min £29
By chance the UK reseller's facility is in my neck of the woods. I might pop round and see if there is any solution.

Free delivery does not work!! I've tried it!
And, as said above, how would you distribute the buy?

 

[Falstaff]

Sorry I see I've cross-posted. The Winter Moot anybody?

 

[Chris]

I was thinking TeeDee’s Moot suggestion.

 

[Chris]

Free delivery seems to work for me over £100.

 

[Broch]

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

 

[Chris]

I’d be willing to buy 11 boxes and bring to the Winter Moot for £9.99 a pop if there was enough interest, and as long as Tony had no issue with me doing so.
