Getting good matches for that "just in case" emergency fire is hard here in Australia at any reasonable price. I've just come across some stock from DDC supply line who cater for the military and cadets as well as hunters and walkers.
They have issue look-alike safety lifeboat matches in small packets
https://www.ddcaustralia.com.au/matches ... proof.htmlOK It is expensive on a per match basis but the packaging means they should stay dry for a long time and this is emergency use only stuff so I see no problem in paying that much. Apparently it is OK to post matches in small quantities as they gave me free postage for 4 packs.
Speaking to the companys owner I have been told that they burn very hot for 10 seconds or longer and they are almost impossible to extinguish
