I have several tubs of these, in my go-bag, in my car, but would try to light a fire with a Swedish Firesteel first, saving the matches.
Actually, I just remembered, I had a huge bag of them that I had to leave behind in the USA, (went there on a military flight, came come civair), damn shame, there must have been hundreds !

it might jsut be me, but i hate them, give me a box of tesco home brand anyday, much better and dont stink anywhere as bad
I always assume you RNLI Guy's were issued with "Lifeboat matches"?
Serious question is there any truth in it?
cheers
Certainly not on our inshore lifeboat.
Why do you need them? Not the best match, no good for lighting a rolly for sure
I'm experimenting with fire lighting.

Dude, really, they suck! Stick to flint and vaselined cotton balls.
Actually, that's a bit harsh. I tried them and a few broke and they flared and they went out.I'm building a fire starter experimentation kit which I'm taking out tomorrow for the meet.
