A match safe only holds about 20-matches at the most. For its size that’s not a lot of lights. Even less so if it’s windy and it takes 2 or 3 to get a fire going. I know someone will say they can do it every time with one match. But this is the exception, and probably a bit of embellishing.
While certainly not a strike anywhere match, I've never found the
REI stormproof matches not to light a
properly prepared tinder ball on the first match. Granted these matches require a striker, but even the most fervent of gram weenies out there would have a hard time making a case against that.
