I agree with Kerry. A ferrocerium rod and some wetfire tinder and I feel pretty good about getting a flame going under almost any circumstance.

I have already placed the order for the matchstick holder (plan B). Couldn't quite justify the rod (although it is indeed pretty slick) because I feel good with what I already have and the weight savings would be rather small.

What I liked about the matchcase is the dual striker design. The weak link in any matches IMO is the striker. In this instance it is intrinsic to the design of the case. Very nice.

Good job Kerry [smiley=thumbup.gif]
