Yep, I got some of those. They seem to not to light very good when striking anywhere. The box striking pad wears out and then it is harder to get them started. I did find out if you don't have the box and are hard to start anywhere else they start very well striking them together to get a friction and create some heat and they start really good. Just something if you are in a pinch. Would really like to try the other kind to see what happens with them using the same method.

You're right Snowy. They light better when struck against each other

^ they actually light and burn better, can even see the flame. LOL The just don't things like they use too.

So what happens when you stroke these through your hair and strike ?

Are they like the old style that would light when they were wet after you did this.

Well, ya see, when two trees love each other very much...

"Responsible " as in They dont give off "poisonous" gas?

Haha!

A common problem back when, that's why they turned to "Safety Matches". I buy the anywhere's whenever I can find them, and keep them and the Box only's in a small p-nut butter jar hanging on the wall at the cabin, just so mice can't get at them.

The green heads need to be kept really dry. They seem to pull moisture out of the air. lol
