I have some OLD news for you. The Government outlawed true 'strike anywhere' matches years ago. It seems the composition of the matchhead was perfect for improvised explosives.
The present formulation is good, but hardly 'strike anywhere.'
The second blow to match use was the determination they are a HAZMAT product with greatly increased shipping costs.

It is FOOLISH for anyone to dismiss common methods of firemaking. A few years back, Randy Davenport was briefly the guest expert at a knife site. He too, dismissed matches. So I postulated this scenario: Randy was lying unconscious from some mishap in the snow. A troop of girlscouts came upon him and decided to build a fire. Looking through Randy's pockets they laid out ;magnesium block, firesteel and flint, New Guinea Higlander firepiston,custom bowdrill with ceremonial eagle feather. Oh, and by chance a book of paper matches courtesy of the DEW DROP INN in Boise Idaho.

There are a plethora ( spit like bad guy in The Three Amigos) of firemaking tricks from the common to the show off and MacGyver wow wee.

It is foolish not to carry multiple methods, AND one almost universaly understood by all people.
