Serious question time. You seem to be avoiding the big one. Corporal, what do we do if the tabasco runs dry??? What about moral? Do we carry chilli powder and attempt to make more? Once made, how do we get our mix back in the bottle through the tiny hole? Surely this is the ultimate bushcraft skill. I fear the last drop.
My Squad Members thought I was nuts for carrying a propane torch In My Alice Pack. You can smell a bunch of trioxane heat tabs 100 yards away. Light that scentless squirrel fart gas torch on low after being cold and wet for a while under a poncho and experience a Marine Corps Sauna you will never forget! Many Other Uses!

The "sandpaper" on the matchbox is not just plain sandpaper. It contains red phosphorous. When the match is struck, a small amount of the red phosphorus on the striking surface is converted into white phosphorus, which then ignites. The heat from this ignites the match head which is usually made up of an oxidizer; most commonly potassium chlorate. Strike anywhere have a different type of phosphorous as well as potassium chlorate in the tip, that ignite with friction.
For matchbooks, I fold the flap back over, place the match in between the strike strip and the flap, apply a little pressure, and then pull the match out. Works great!
A pocket survival kit: -3 tea candles -30 feet of masons twine or other strong, small diameter, synthetic cordage. -Bic lighter (you should have 2 or 3 more in your other pockets, if not, put 2 in the kit) -Strips of rubber (bicycle innertubes cut up) for wet weather fire starting -small bottle of iodine water treatment tabs -12 aspirin and 12 ibuprofen -heavy duty large contractor trash bag rolled up tight with several rubber bands around it -RAT style tourniquet -small amount of high energy sweet food, even just sugar cubes or some small candies, or dried fruit and nuts. Enough to pick you up if you 'bonk'. -1 qt or liter waterbag rolled up tight. -small knife...the small Mora knives are ideal for this... something with a 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch blade and is very light weight. -small (high quality) LED flashlight (olight, streamlight, etc) -small, lightweight Suunto or other brand name, good quality compass. -i like to add a small, lightweight polypropylene beanie stocking cap rolled up tight as well. -also carry a few doses of any critical meds that you take. -asthma inhalers if you use them -2 or 3 antiseptic wet wipes -wrap the bic lighters with several feet of good quality duct tape (gorilla tape) Double ziplock bag this kit and put it in the cargo pocket on your shorts or pants or in a jacket pocket, you might need to split it into 2 bags for 2 pockets, but it should be on you all the time (not in a backpack) if you are taking an extended hike or stalking an animal, etc... Everything there is straight forward in what it can be used for. Anyhow, this is something i carry and i am someone that has been hunting, hiking, mountain climbing, backcountry skiing, fishing, backpacking, and involved in search and rescues, etc in the rockies very vigorously for about 40 years. This little kit can save your life. Every year out here, dozens of people get lost, including very experienced people like me and they die from exposure to the elements or from medical issues, etc...this kit would save 99% of them.
Back in the day, our little band of grade school delinquents would split matches (verboten) and use them to light large-caliber firecrackers (really verboten). "Ohio Blue Tip" strike-anywhere matches worked well on zippers, too.
For matchbooks, its easier to peel the cardboard from the side while they are still attached to the book, and you save the other half of the match that is still attached
Years ago, snowshoeing in -30C. Wanted to start a fire to warm up. I was in the bush, but there was a bit of wind. The Bic lighter could not do it. A wooden match did. It has a larger flame and you can stick it further in the tinder. I carry a lighter and also some matches in a plastic bag always.
I got a box of the really long fireplace matches on clearance thinking I could break them down and put in a pill bottle and use the extra wood for kindling
Fun fact much easier way to strike a paper match. Pick a match take the fold over top of the match book backwards covering the matchbook strike strip pinch the match head between the striker n top pinch the top to the striker pull match lights first time Everytime
I've lit some of those "light anywhere" matches on the concave part of the back of my front teeth. Tastes like a$$ but it works. That and a zipper. I think, maybe once, I was able to light one on very taut jeans. Really well done on splitting the paper matches as you can see that there's 3 layers of paper. Great stuff, sir. Keep up the great content.
Ok found a deal on your Hardcore Hammer Camp Axe:)....Got to admit it's better then the council tool equv.....the hammer head is sickwhitted:) the handle is thick, fits a manly hand!!!! BEEF!!!!!
If you're using strike anywhere, it takes all the white tip off. Had that thought years ago. Try a bit of 1200 grit sandpaper, but try it before you bet your life on it. Modern strike anywheres are a pale shadow of those from 30 years ago. And it won't work at all with safety matches, you need the red phosphorus in the striker, it as much chemistry as friction. Or storm matches.
Keep It Stupid Simple That's how my grandpa always defined "K.I.S.S." He always said that keeping things Stupid simple meant that Everyone could understand, Not Just the stupid people but Even Politicians.
Glad to see you can still get Strike Anywhere Matches, here in UK where we had the Swan Vesta brand, which were originally strike anywhere alas are now only Strike on the Box, and believe it holds true for all EU countries where they were banned several years ago. Usual excuse of Elf & Safety !
The only reason we pack matches in our young'uns kits is for practice. In the event matches were all they could scavance or purchase in an emergency, they should be proficient in the use of matches. Beautiful Daughter needs this video badly, she has a fear of getting burned. Matches could be used to trade with others. To be totally honest, matches in the Philippines are some if the worst I have ever used. What we do is save the small plastic jars that KATINKO is supplied in. Katinko is a pain relieving muscle and joint rub. The jars are approximately 1 3/4 inches (4.5 cm) high and hold the small wooden matches perfectly without any trimming. We can squeeze about one and a half boxes ( 40 + or - matches/box) of matches plus four of the striker strips from the side of the match box.into each jar. We place two of the strikers face to face (four in all) to prevent accidental ignition. I add a thin gasket to insure no moisture enters the containers. Shawn is correct, there are so many better options but if a match is all you have, know how to use it.
I think you might only be the second or third person I’ve seen on how to strike a match that way. I don’t know why more people don’t do it. I learned it from Mors’ book. It comes in handy. He also says if you carry matches you should carry a them in a waterproof case on each layer you’re wearing. It’s good advice and this is an awesome video.
I have the UCO stormproof matches along with both the small and kitchen size strike anywhere matches. I put a few strike anywhere matches in with the UCOs which are "strike on box" type except they give you a strip of sandpaper-like material to strike on. I also put a couple of the "trick" self relighting birthday candles in the kit for very windy conditions.
These boxes of stick matches where I live, they cost $.97 per box of 250.....so for a little over $5 I can have 1250 matches I appreciate you took the time to show this information....
Another (better) way of lighting matches is to put them between your index and middle fingers with the head facing toward you. Push down on the head with your thumb as you're striking it. As it lights, your hand is naturally cupped around it, blocking any wind. You can then bring your other hand to also cup around it making a very effective windscreen. I did it that way for years when I couldn't afford a Zippo and disposable lighters weren't a thing yet (yes, there was a time, long ago). Thanks for the videos!
I enjoy your content. Survival only becomes a problem where pisspore proper priority planning is nonexistent. I carry a survival kit every time I head out for an adventure, and I have been since I was ten years old it may seem as though it's overkill I've never been in what I recognized as a survival situation that couldn't be handled confidently and comfortable. Thank again.
I remember people practicing the one handed "Kojak method" for striking paper matches. You folded the match under and used your thumb to strike it, lit your cigarette, blow the match out, then pinch it and break it off with your thumb and index finger.
We have "Matches" which DO strike anywhere without being told. AND We have "Safety Matches" Which only strike on the box, though MIGHT occasionally strike on glass. 😲
In Scouting we would use 2 matches on a light so that you had twice the fuel and more than 2x the flame for a sure light. A week outing would have 200 matches to use. This is especially true winter camping here in Canada! I have also lite a strike anywhere with my thumb nail. I don't anymore after the phosphorous ignited under my nail and it burned and burned.
Affects of humidity? Decades ago, while camping for several days in the rain, (backpacking stove, and 2 metal waterproof match containers of wood "kitchen" matches) I discovered the match heads absorbed humidity after the container had been briefly opened a few times, and would just "mush off the wood" when trying to light them. So even though they weren't directly exposed to raindrops or other water, only the first few matches used from each match container would actually light. A lighter is indeed a SMART thing to carry. :D (I started carrying a variety of "storm-proof/waterproof" matches as well as lighters after that. :D )
I still carry paper book matches because they are so compact and cheap. Put them in a small plastic pill bag and they last a long time. And you always have a bunch of matches.
Ditto. Matches suck nowadays, because lighters are a thing, and not all that many people want to start a fire. Also used to strike matches off of other matches. Diamond matches back in the day would strike off of a lot of stuff. Would not want to try that today. Like the Corporal says, Bic lighter, first time, every time.
we used to flip the paper match book paper around all the way over the strike and pinch it over the corner and pull the match out. that make since? hard to explain.
Weren't you taught not to play with matches LOL. Just kidding, very good information to know, especially when you're trying to stretch supplies as far as they'll go.
Another great video, Corporal Kelly! Do you have any videos food storage? Like long term food storage? Or maybe like a root cellar type video? Much love!

-Bic lighter (you should have 2 or 3 more in your other pockets, if not, put 2 in the kit)
-Strips of rubber (bicycle innertubes cut up) for wet weather fire starting
-small bottle of iodine water treatment tabs
-12 aspirin and 12 ibuprofen
-heavy duty large contractor trash bag rolled up tight with several rubber bands around it
-RAT style tourniquet
-small amount of high energy sweet food, even just sugar cubes or some small candies, or dried fruit and nuts. Enough to pick you up if you 'bonk'.
-1 qt or liter waterbag rolled up tight.
-small knife...the small Mora knives are ideal for this... something with a 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch blade and is very light weight.
-small (high quality) LED flashlight (olight, streamlight, etc)
-small, lightweight Suunto or other brand name, good quality compass.
-i like to add a small, lightweight polypropylene beanie stocking cap rolled up tight as well.
-also carry a few doses of any critical meds that you take.
-asthma inhalers if you use them
-2 or 3 antiseptic wet wipes
-wrap the bic lighters with several feet of good quality duct tape (gorilla tape)
Double ziplock bag this kit and put it in the cargo pocket on your shorts or pants or in a jacket pocket, you might need to split it into 2 bags for 2 pockets, but it should be on you all the time (not in a backpack) if you are taking an extended hike or stalking an animal, etc...

I miss the REAL “strike anywhere” matches I grew up with sixty years ago.
They still sell them at Ace Hardware.
Years ago, snowshoeing in -30C. Wanted to start a fire to warm up. I was in the bush, but there was a bit of wind. The Bic lighter could not do it. A wooden match did. It has a larger flame and you can stick it further in the tinder. I carry a lighter and also some matches in a plastic bag always.
plastic bag? get some empty prescription medicine bottle.
I've done this with paper matches back in the day. Never thought of the wood. Good advice thanks
And never ceases to amaze me just how much knowledge we have lost.
I got a box of the really long fireplace matches on clearance thinking I could break them down and put in a pill bottle and use the extra wood for kindling
Thank you for your hard work putting out free content and sharing your knowledge! You are badass brother! You are changing lives for the better.
I remember paper matches before the striker was on the front. "Close cover before striking" was supposed to be the most often read words.
Ok the nail lighting looks cool af.
Fun fact much easier way to strike a paper match. Pick a match take the fold over top of the match book backwards covering the matchbook strike strip pinch the match head between the striker n top pinch the top to the striker pull match lights first time Everytime
Strike anywhere we light them on your zipper. And as for paper you can pinch between the strip and the cover
The concept is so simple that it's actually brilliant !!!
Great video !!!
Never thought of splitting matches. Now I'll have to try. Thanks for putting it out there!
This may seem like a stupid or trivial topic and knowledge base.
But you'd be surprised. I'm glade someone covered this
I've lit some of those "light anywhere" matches on the concave part of the back of my front teeth. Tastes like a$$ but it works. That and a zipper.

We used to call commercial waterproof matches "fireproof" cuz we could never light 'em back in the 70's.
Thanks for the midweek video, Hope your week is going well. See you Sunday.
Good to know but I'm the same I carry a bic or 2 and homemade fire starters
Thank you for the midweek video. Digging in now!
How about adding a small Emory board in edc or fire kit to strike matches on or file finger nails or sharpen fish hooks?
If you're using strike anywhere, it takes all the white tip off. Had that thought years ago. Try a bit of 1200 grit sandpaper, but try it before you bet your life on it. Modern strike anywheres are a pale shadow of those from 30 years ago. And it won't work at all with safety matches, you need the red phosphorus in the striker, it as much chemistry as friction. Or storm matches.
The striker on the box likely has red phosphorus in it. A file or emery board won't.
The knifes polish gives off a cool Predator vibe, mirroring what you are working with.
Just like that... Another informative video
Keep
It
Stupid

Hey Corporal, great tips! Thank You. I've been striking matches wrong for all these years..👍🔥
Conservation of resources, love it!

Would have never thought to split a match in half to double the effort 😯😲😃🤙🤙🤙
I used matches for years before I fully switched to a lighter. Now I am nostalgic for the 80's.
I have the UCO stormproof matches along with both the small and kitchen size strike anywhere matches. I put a few strike anywhere matches in with the UCOs which are "strike on box" type except they give you a strip of sandpaper-like material to strike on.

Come On Corporal Light My Fire , Try To Set The Match On Fire ! ! !
I enjoy your content. Survival only becomes a problem where pisspore proper priority planning is nonexistent. I carry a survival kit every time I head out for an adventure, and I have been since I was ten years old it may seem as though it's overkill I've never been in what I recognized as a survival situation that couldn't be handled confidently and comfortable. Thank again.
Corporal Kelly,
Have you ever put a little bit of duct tape near the tip of the match to make it last longer?
Thanx been playn w matches since i was 10 y o.
Excellent demonstration leaves nothing to guess work. I'll take a lighter any day given the choice, but I also carry waterproof matches just in case.
I remember people practicing the one handed "Kojak method" for striking paper matches. You folded the match under and used your thumb to strike it, lit your cigarette, blow the match out, then pinch it and break it off with your thumb and index finger.
if you dip those split matches in wax a couple times youve got waterproof “cowboy matches” now, works with M-80’s too
I would give you another thumbs up for you saying your first choice is a lighter. Always my first choice, never my only choice.
I still carry a piece of Emery cloth in my back.
Just for matches. My dad taught me that.
Thanks Corporal. Good tip.
We have "Matches" which DO strike anywhere without being told.
AND
We have "Safety Matches" Which only strike on the box, though MIGHT occasionally strike on glass. 😲
Dang, corp. You look tired. Sending love.
Another Outstanding A.F video my friend
useful tips there to conserve and extend resources.

A lighter is indeed a SMART thing to carry. :D (I started carrying a variety of "storm-proof/waterproof" matches as well as lighters after that. :D )
Back in the day we used to light wooden matches by bending our knee and rubbing the match on our pants on the back side of our thigh.
I actually learned this from less stroud 15 years ago
K.I.S.S. All day every day. Thank you corporal.
Omg... You're wearing me out... Lol 😇
Strike anywhere matches! Thought they were illegal. I bought a bunch of the older Ohio Blues off eBay cheap. Always take with me.
Good Vid Cpl!
I still carry paper book matches because they are so compact and cheap. Put them in a small plastic pill bag and they last a long time. And you always have a bunch of matches.
Good video. Doesn't seem like wally world's gear get worse & worse as time goes on?
Good to know.......But I hope to FnG I don't ever have to resort to such a thing.
Once again, good basic information. Thanks.
Sometime can you talk about a basic first aid kit that you would carry for an overnight? Thanks again.
Used to strike "strike anywhere" matches on the zipper of my jeans...they don't seem to stand up to that, anymore....
Ditto. Matches suck nowadays, because lighters are a thing, and not all that many people want to start a fire. Also used to strike matches off of other matches. Diamond matches back in the day would strike off of a lot of stuff. Would not want to try that today.

Pretty nifty had never even thought off splitting matches 👍 👍 👍
As always, top shelf tips.🤙
Takes for your time and effort. God bless. Drive on trooper.
nice!!! learned something new
There is a legend that woodcutter had practical exam to split match with single swing of axe, and both halves have to be usebale.
Great info! Thanks!
Cool trick with the thumb strike 😅
Add a small strip of emory cloth or sandpaper to the match box, the sand paper on matches suck nowadays.
The striker has red phosphorus in it to light the match sandpaper won't work, except strike anywheres.
Great idea as always
I've been striking matches wrong my whole life - and have broken quite a few! Now I know!!! Awesome AF!!!
I would dip my wooden matches in paraffin wax.
Awesome Video!
Weren't you taught not to play with matches LOL. Just kidding, very good information to know, especially when you're trying to stretch supplies as far as they'll go.
Another great video, Corporal Kelly! Do you have any videos food storage? Like long term food storage? Or maybe like a root cellar type video? Much love!
5:17 I appreciate the mirror finish of the knife. Almost makes it invisible.
Been there, done dat, several times. 😁👍
Hey Shawn….Q: why do they call them matches….
A: because they all look the same …😂😂 you heard it here first, friend! Great Vid!
I would never split a match (in real survival situation). To have fire for some more days collect Tinder sponge. This is more safe
69 years old, who knew I was striking a match the right way. Another great mid week Shawn
Zeppo makes a match called the typhoon No that is a match it burns for like 35 seconds
Thank you for a great tip and, as always, demonstrating the technique. One of the reasons I love your channel.
A Bic in an Exotac case. The best way to go.
Can't even find "strike anywhere" matches here in Maryland - think they've been outlawed... will paper match take waterproofing?
Gee now I know how to save a buck fifty....thanks Corporal....I'll be a millionaire in a year.
Hahahaha...hey Lauugh a Little
Nice dam job on video!!!!
