There’s a long list of things we were under the impression we would never be privy to: Justin Bieber hit songs, double rainbows, Jersey Shore, and matches capable of giving mother nature the middle finger. These windproof, waterproof survival matches from Garret Wade are waterproof and windproof and were specially designed for the British Army to NATO specs. Because they’re waterproof these probably aren’t the best matches to leave lying around the bathroom, but they fill some necessary gaps: smoking during monsoons, fireworks in the rain, and surviving an unfriendly wilderness. For roughly $0.20 each, it beats the hell out of rubbing sticks together to make fire and you’ll look a whole lot cooler if anyone else is around.
