Lifeboat-matches, especially the NATO-ones suck...badly..

They are very hard to light and you CAN blow them out, also you can throw them out well before they have expired..

I would suggest either Coghlan's Wind/Waterproof matches or REI storm-matches..or a road-flare if you want a bombproof-way.. wink
