Safety matches requires TWO things not to get lost and kept dry while keeping both separate. I haven't figured out a safe way to do it....Where does one store the safety striker in or near the match case?
I agree flint lighters and ferro rods are almost bombproof.
I put the flattened cardboard match box, which had the striker surface, in a poly bag loose in the stuff sack that held the rest of my kit. If I had to redo it, I would put the matches and lighter in a Witz small sport or ID case along with the tinder.
For my 72 hour kit, I keep the matches, tinder, hone, pocket knife, and spare flashlights in a Rubbermaid sandwich container. Sort of a poor man's drybox.
