Today’s “Strike anywhere” matches don’t necessarily “strike” anywhere, even the side of the box. Glue a piece of emery cloth to the side of the box, they’ll strike every time.

Put a few wood chips along with some lamp oil (NOT the kind with bug repellent in it) into a zip lock bag. You’ll have a nice fire starter for your fireplace or campfire.

Laundry lint works well and hand sanitizer is called Boy Scout napalm for a reason

Fritos make excelke t fire starters; or take dryer lint, put it into each cell of an egg carton, and pour paraffin into the cell.
