As posted before, REI matches are not strike anywhere, so you have little to worry about regarding them rubbing together and igniting.

You drug store will be happy to give you a few pill bottles that will easily hold a box of The REI matches, a couple of spare striker stripsin their wrapper, a few of Four Seasons Survival "Tinder-Quik" tinder pieces. A self stick striker (posted elsewhere on the ETS forum) can be cut to fit the top of the pill bottle. I wrap the top of mine with vinyl electrical tape to help waterproof the top and bottle.
