[Steve M]

What do you rat packers do with all your matches? Fancy flogging me some?

Cheers

Penrith Survival sell them, in a watertight plastic tub, £1.47 for 25, with striker on the end of the tub, and some cotton wool (anti-rattle) packing.

For a link to the page.

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 !

I always assume you RNLI Guy's were issued with "Lifeboat matches"?
Serious question is there any truth in it?
cheers

Why do you need them? Not the best match, no good for lighting a rolly for sure

Certainly not on our inshore lifeboat.

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.
