Matches have taken a back seat in recent years due to the popularity of ferro-rods and the reliability of Bic's, however , I believe they still have a place in our kits.
I carry two lots, a day glow orange match case full of storm proof matches and a small capsule with some cut down strike anywhere matches. The capsule holds 9 matches and is so small I take it everywhere with me.
I decided to make this small video today showing the capsule and also the correct way to strike a match, yeah I know it sounds obvious but I still see many people striking matches without supporting the head.
You will notice it didn't strike straight away, things never go perfect when you film them !!!!:grumpy:
