Welcome,here's my $.02 worth on your questions.For a stricker to go with the matches any one from a match box will do.But be sure to pack the matches on the cardboard side of the stricker.This is in case of shuffeling it wouldn't ignite the matches.I also pack a trick b-day candle, sealed within a soda straw with the ends melted shut.If the candle melts it wont go anywhere and still maintain a useable form.And as for tubing try a pet store that sells fish and get some aquarium tubing.Hope this helps out?
