Strike anywhere matches are nice but where do you get them now? I think I am going to buy a big bag of the cheap throwaway cigarette lighters. Just one of them will light a lot of fires if you have good tender and I have a large supply of fat pine and red cedar, I can make a torch out of it too.

I live in a rural area so I didn't think finding the matches would be a problem. I was wrong.

After a bunch of searching I found an Ace Hardware store that sells them. $.50 for a box of 250, so I bought 10 boxes.

The cheap throwaway cigarette lighters expire - loose their gas pressure, don’t depend on them.
