I ran across this website that sells replacement striker paper. It appears to be a 1 woman site that sells stuff for making crafty match holders. I got 3 sheets, about 7.5x10 each, with peel off backing for $3 each plus $2.60 shipping. It comes in 3 grades and she says that the only difference is in appearance, not quality. This is the lowest grade and it'll work great for anything I need. The highest grade sells for $4.50/sheet. I cut a piece to cover the whole top of this matchbox so I should be striking matches on it for quite a while. Greenhead strike-on-box matches flared right up when I tried them. It will stick to about anything so you can keep your matches in a jar or something and have a way to light them. For tent camping, put a piece of this on something hard and keep it inside the match container so it stays dry. I think I'll order several more just to have on hand in case she disappears. Here's her site: STRIKEAMATCH![[Linked Image]](http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n267/rockchuck/match%20box.jpg)

Would be cheaper to buy a couple of disposable lighters.

I don't care how many meth heads poison themselves with the phosphorus from matches. We won't miss them. Our government's mentality is that if someone is an idiot, everyone else must be punished. I also want the good matches back.

Why not just buy strike anywhere matches?? Because they don't. The new ones are a pathetic replacement for the good old ones.

sand paper works for strike anywheres but safety matches need phosphorus to light.
