Exotac Matchcap XL review: An almost-perfect match case

Exotac Matchcap XL review: An almost-perfect match case

One of the most important pieces of a survival kit is your fire-starting gear. As with any essential piece of gear, it’s also important to have contingency options. For example, my fire-starting gear consists of a Bic lighter, ferro-rod, and UCO stormproof matches. If and when one of these options fail, I can rely on […]

UCO Portable FirePit | Call for fire

UCO Portable FirePit | Call for fire

UCO (utility, comfort, originality) has been innovating the outdoor market since 1971.  The Seattle, WA area manufacturer sent their Original Candle Lantern in for review a while ago, so I have a passing familiarity with the brand.  Now they’ve asked us at the Loadout Room to check out their Portable Firepit. A small metal dish with scalloped edges that collapses […]

Why Behemoth? Well, these are essentially massive matches with stormproof strike tips.  […]

Never without power again: UCO Gear flexible folding solar panel charger

A power bank to charge your electronics is a great thing to have. But what if you have kept it in your backpack long enough without remembering to charge it that the battery charge has degraded? That was the question that bothered me with the various power banks I have available. I remembered to periodically […]

UCO Flatpack Grill and Firepit

UCO Flatpack Grill and Firepit

When my family goes camping we like to take a mini-bbq which runs off of a small propane tank with us. This is great if we have the room in our vehicle, and we plan on driving right up to our campsite. When I am hunting I usually leave this bbq at home because there […]

The UCO Air Lithium Ion Rechargeable Headlamp

The UCO Air Lithium Ion Rechargeable Headlamp

They call it the Air because of its weight; it weighs damn near nothing when you hold it in your hands. The second thing you’ll notice right out of the box is the head strap. All the other headlamps that I own, all have an elastic stretchable strap that hold the lamp secure to your […]
