Another tip I learned years ago; include a birthday candle or two inside the match safe. In a survival situation, or when conditions are 'precipitous' they will pay huge dividends.

Strike one match, light the candle and a better guarantee of successful fire lighting. Saves matches.
[Also advisable to include one or two birthday candles inside the handle of a Model 18.]

Cool match safes! I would like to acquire one.
