I always carry a 'fire bag'. It's a small nylon bag with about a half doz ways to start a fire. It goes in whatever pack I'm carrying. It contains a Zippo and extra fuel, hurricane matches, a Strikeforce striker, vasoline cotton balls, and a couple types of other fire starters.

Problems with finding something that will strike one of our 'modern' anti-dopehead matchs? Here's what I use. It's a stick-on sheet of match striker paper. I cut it to size and stuck some on tongue depressors (available in Walmart's crafts section). It'll strike any match if you keep it dry. An 8.5x11" sheet will make a whole lot of small strikers to carry in packs, etc.
MATCH STRIKER PAPER
Here's another source if you don't like Amazon: OTHER MATCH STRIKER PAPER
It can also be used to repair a paper match box that has the striker stuff worn off. Just cut a piece and stick it to the box.
