Outdoor Tips
Matches can come in very useful during a survival situation. Stock up on as many as you can, they’re cheap and extremely useful in any emergency situation. From lighting candles for emergency lighting to getting fires started for cooking, matches are a survival necessity.
If you are going to stock up on matches, try to find the Strike Anywhere matches which are a far better option than ordinary matches. Strike anywhere matches can be lit by striking them on any solid surface.
It is also a good idea to waterproof a small amount of matches with wax. Once waterproofed store them in an old Altoids tin and put them somewhere safe.

I grab matches from every restaurant and gas station that still gives them out. I have thousands of them, I can never get enough
