Popular knife dealer Ragnar of www.ragweedforge.com encountered some MAJOR delivery problems to Canada enough to post a warning.I don't know the particulars, but keep this in mind. Canadian buyers best strategy is to use a nearby USA border mailbox or friend to receive packages and either pick them up while visiting or have them shipped on.British survival rations have always had a good reputation for palatability. And never totally dismiss paper matches. Yes, they are flimsy, weather sensitive and certainly no serious bit of kit. But, if properly stored they can, with CARE ( and every step of firebuilding should be approached with the near religous reverence this most ancient and mystical act once held ) light a fire. An old survial test is to have students light a fire with A SPLIT PAPER MATCH. Most vendors will include a pack not to be cheap, but give another reserve option.The almost free cost and wieght certainly are no drawback.
