The highway flare and dimpled striker from strike anywhere matches are the best. Be aware, that lifeboats snap easily and you have to jab the match in to the striker AWAY from you rather than dragging. I have mine in reserve for real nasty weather. Strike Anywhere matches are becoming hard to find. New ( and stupid ) transport regs make selling prohibitive. They can ignite with enough friction. I treat mine with nail polish ( wax also used) and slip the heads into a small strip of perforated cardboard, much like a ammo belt.
