VernAK;
For awhile in our part of the world it was a little tough to find strike anywhere matches, but lately the aforementioned "Redbird" by Eddy have been available most everywhere.
The one thing we've noticed about that brand is that they seem to be susceptible to absorbing surrounding moisture more than other wooden match types. Any exposure to moist conditions seems to degrade the match tip very quickly, so storage of an unwrapped box in a zip-lock type bag might not hurt.
As well, the match heads aren't as robust as some brands available in my youth, so zipper strikes will sometimes result in a broken head, but they can certainly be lit on the inside steel door frame of a wood stove like I did this morning - and every morning at our house from September to April.
Anyway, in our part of the Okanagan they are available at most grocery stores and Canadian Tire carries them as well. Strangely the local Walmart has no matches except the Coghlan's Waterproof or Windproof ones.
Hopefully that was some use to you sir. All the best to you and yours.
Regards,
Dwayne
