Wow - Great thread - I usually carry about 3 mini bic lighters and 2 separate waterproof containers of matches.
I keep a lighter in my stove set, in my general carryall/repair kit, and one in my toliet paper bag.
I keep a small nalgene bottle of matches in my first aid kit and also, always in the top hood of my backpack double bagged in ziplocks.
BTW, NY does not allow Strike Anywhere (SA) matches - I think Cuomo signed a law around 10-12 years ago. Only Strike on Box (SOB) are allowed. However, in PA, you can get SA.
As long as I am moving to MA, I may as well pick up a few boxes of SA matches. Does anyone know if they are sold in MA, NH, VT or ME?
