Your concern is very valid. Even if they do know how to strike the match it is amazing how many people don't understand the basics of making a fire. Case in point: Couple years ago I took my son to a friends house for a Birthday Party/Cookout. The dad was going to cook hotdogs & marshmellows over a fire. He had a bunch of wet wood & a good size pile of wet leaves. Also had matches & gallon of gas. He kept pouring on the gas & lighting it only to see it smoulder. Did this for almost an hour. I tried to intervene, but he was hardheaded & rude so I just sat back & chuckled. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Even if you hand the best equipment out there to some folks they still would struggle.
