Match Card: Flat Wooden Matches for Your Pocket
A lighter is handy right up until you forget it. The Grim Workshop Match Card keeps flat wooden matches in a slim, credit card size shape that is easy to add to a wallet, pocket kit, or camping bag.
It's a simple way to carry another fire starting option. Take out a match, use the proper striking surface, and get a flame ready for dry tinder. These are real matches you use one at a time, so pack enough for your trip and keep them dry.
Choose a single Match Card or the three-pack option. The small shape makes it easy to build a fire kit without carrying a bulky matchbox.
A Backup Flame That Fits Your Gear
Nobody plans to lose their lighter or leave it at home, but it happens. A flat matches card is one more small way to be ready when you have dry tinder and a safe place to build a fire.
Slip a Match Card into a compatible wallet pocket, hiking pack, or small fire kit. Its familiar match style is easy to practice with before you need it.
Pack it along with dry tinder and a second kind of fire starter. One small card cannot change bad weather, but it can save a lot of digging through the bottom of your bag.

Match Card Tool List, Skill Guides, and Training
The match card is backed by a full skill guide.
That means you are not left guessing how to start fires or manage ignition in different conditions. You can learn exactly how it works, when to use it, and how to apply it in real situations.
Below you can find a step-by-step guide. These guides take you from beginner to confident use, so you are not just carrying tools, you are building real fire starting skills.
This is part of how Grim Workshop works.
Not just tools. Tools plus the knowledge to use them.
How to Use a Match Card
- Start in a safe spot where outdoor fires are allowed. Check for fire restrictions and have a way to put the fire out.
- Prepare dry tinder and small kindling before lighting a match. Your flame will not last forever.
- Take one match and use the proper striking surface for that match. Keep your fingers and face away from the flame.
- Touch the lit match to your prepared tinder, then feed the new flame slowly with small kindling.
- Put out the spent match fully. Never leave a flame or hot ashes unattended.
How to Carry and Store Matches
Keep your Match Card dry and away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Use a pocket, pouch, or storage container that protects the match heads from rough handling.
Matches rely on the right striking surface and dry conditions. Damp or damaged matches may fail to light, so check your kit before a trip. Never treat any match as guaranteed to work forever.
A Match Card adds a useful flame option, but a lighter or ferro rod is a smart backup for camping and emergencies. Always follow local fire rules and keep matches out of children's reach.
Build a Better Pocket Fire Kit
The Match Card gives you a way to create a flame. Dry tinder helps that flame catch, and a different starter gives you options when a match is not the best choice.
