Lighters have limits. Flint-and-steel fire starters take skill and patience. UCO puts a torch in your fingers to redefine the match option. Testers in Chile’s Lake District (filled with volcanoes as well) found Titan’s prowess almost hypnotic. In damp conditions or when locating tinder or primer fuel pan took time, this one continued to burn strong. Surpassing already-generous 15sec burn times of other UCO matches, this new 25sec model kept pushing when winds kicked up or materials needed pre-heating to ignite. Few products in the $10 range provide such clear-cut advantages to frequent trekkers as this one. Extra strikers come in each box in the event wet conditions neutralize the heavy-duty cardboard sleeve. Caution is advised as Titan is serious medicine for balky stoves or campfires and deserves respect when handling.
