UCO – Light and fire in the most extreme conditions
The name says it all: Utility, Comfort, and Originality. Since 1971, the American company UCO has delivered innovative solutions for outdoor life that make the dark a little brighter and camp life much easier. They are particularly famous for perfecting the stormproof match – a tool that has become a fixture in the survival kit of hunters and professionals alike. We carry UCO because their gear brings both safety and atmosphere to your next outdoor trip.
Stormproof matches: Fire that will not go out
UCO's "Stormproof Matches" are in a league of their own:
Burns no matter what: These matches burn for up to 15 seconds, even in strong wind and pouring rain. They can even be lit, dipped in water and will keep burning when they come back out!
Insurance in your pocket: The ultimate back-up for lighting your fire or your Tatonka stove if your lighter fails while you are out in your Ocean rainwear.
Waterproof packaging: Many of the kits come in robust containers that float and keep the contents bone dry.
Original candle lanterns and cooking kit
UCO brings atmosphere and function to camp:
Candle lanterns: The classic candle lantern gives warm, cosy light without using batteries. It also warms the tent slightly and reduces condensation.
Sporks and cooking: Their modular sporks and food containers are ideal if you enjoy a Tactical Foodpack outdoors. They are easy to clean and almost impossible to wear out.
Grills: UCO also makes compact, folding grills that fit easily in your Tasmanian Tiger backpack.
Caring for your UCO equipment
UCO is built for a rough life, but it lasts longer with a few good habits:
Check the striker: With stormproof matches, the striking surface is just as important as the match itself. Keep it dry and replace it if it becomes worn.
Cleaning lanterns: Remove excess wax from your lantern regularly so the mechanical parts (such as the spring that pushes the candle up) work perfectly. You will find everything for care in our cleaning and maintenance collection.
Storage: Even though the containers are waterproof, it is good practice to keep your fire starter in a dry pocket of your tactical gear.
