I tried searching back through the forum but couldn’t find much on this. My search tool is not turning up anything from the forum and going back through all this info manually is rather time consuming. If I drag up and old topic that was already on here I apologize but I wasn’t having much luck. I just was given an entire case of these lifeboat matches.(job perks ) They work better than any I have ever seen and are packaged 24 to a vial. Each group of 6 matches is vacuum sealed as well as 2 striker strips (thick heavy suckers) also vacuum sealed. Stored like this, I was wondering how long these "Mariner" matches will last. There is no stamped shelf life or expiry date and I can’t find much info online either. Any knowledge on these matches is welcome. Thanks
