Have you ever bothered waterproofing matches for
yourself? - you know how truly indispensable they are when
they're needed! ...Dip the heads of wooden matches into
melted paraffin and air-dry. (You don’t want a thick
coating - just enough to protect the sulfur from moisture.)
Stash a bunch of these in a little container such as a film
canister. ...A great stocking stuffer for the
outdoorsman/woman/child!
