These are good matches but, they aren't OHIO BLUE TIPS. They get the job done. Almost impossible to find anywhere but on the net. If you want them, better get them while you can. I sure do miss OBTs. Look around. I paid 8 dollars and 62 cents for 3 boxes (750 matches) on that well known auction site. :)

I bought 5 different fire starter kits to test out with my son. This starter was one of the two best. The long flint made it easy to generate lots of sparks.

3 Pack: Diamond Strike Anywhere "Greenlight" Matches 300 Ct Review

I could not find these matches anywhere locally but Amazon comes through again. The matches arrived in about 5 days. They are as described, three boxes of 300 each. The matches can be lit by striking anywhere so I can light my fireplace by striking the match against the bricks or floor. I prefer this over strike on the box because it seems that the striking surface is dull by the end of the box and I am repeatedly striking the match with about 1/4 at the end being "flame outs." With these you can also do, if so inclined, the striking a match on the bottom of the shoe. Tre Chic! Just like in the movies from the 40's. Too bad I don't smoke. The matches are sturdy and long. Not flimsy. You can light your fireplace in four or five different spots before the match is too short to handle and this means that you only use one. I was averaging three per fire before between needing multiple matches and "duds" so in the end these are economical. And I dip the heads in hot wax to make them waterproof and carry them in a special container and they are great for camping and barbecues, etc. I can light my grill even if it is raining or windy.

Its Official: The Red/White Tipped Strike Anywhere match is GONE. As of Jan 2010 Diamond discontinued production of the old red/white tipped match.If you are buying red/white tipped matches you are purchasing a product with nearly a years shelf time.This new match has all the great qualities of the others but with some added improvements.1) 300 matches per box vs. the old 2502) Aspen vs. Pine for stronger Stick3) Same great strike anywhere formula4) Lights easier (in my opinion)5) Diamond is U.S.A. Made since 1881After Using this product I firmly stand behind it as an even superior match than the already great traditional red/white tipped strike anywhere. Buy and use with confidence as an equally reliable product with all the quality that the Diamond Brand is known for.You WON'T be disappointed!! Total: 3 x 300 count = 900 Matches

Gobspark Firesteel with Super Scraper and Lanyard Review

Pick up a Gobspark steel and you can pretty much ditch the rest of your fire gear. This bad boy will give you an impressive shower of superheated sparks, guaranteed to light your tinder easily.The handle is at once simple and ingenious, allowing you to aim your sparks more accurately than with any other steel I've used. When the chips are down, this 'steel will get the job done, every time. And you won't find any better company on the web (or in the B&M world for that matter) than [...].
If you want foolproof, keep some 100% cotton balls with you. Smearing them with petroleum jelly will turn them into backwoods napalm. This will always light, and burn for five minutes or more. The beauty of the firesteel is it doesn't have to stay dry, it doesn't need fuel and it doesn't run out. Well, maybe after several thousand fires. After that I'll gladly spend another nine bucks to light a few thousand more.
This 'steel won't let you down. It's never failed me no matter the conditions. Five ***** only because I can't give more. :)

Windmill Trekker Stormproof Lighter Review

Windmill Trekker Stormproof Lighter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this lighter from REI on sale so that I could have a reliable, and durable lighter while back packing. REI no longer sells this item so I am writing a review here.
At sea level this lighter starts most of the time it takes quite a bit of adusting of the gas to get it to work reliably. When it is on it gives off a hot blue flame that would in most cased be "wind proof" it is also very fuel efficient.
When I took this lighter up into the mountains on a back packing trip however this lighter refused to start for me. I was at 11,00 feet and no matter how I adjusted the gas setting it just wouldn't go. I had to use my $0.88 Bic lighter that I brought as a back put to light my stove.
I might just be bitter to write a review like this, but when you are cold tired and hungry at 1100 feet you'd be just as disappointed as I am when an expensive piece of gear fails you.
Bottom line - I can't say that this lighter was faulty because it did work at sea level but a lighter that cost $50+ dollars should outperform a Bic lighter at 10,000+ feet.

Lightning Nuggets N100SEB Firestarters Super Economy Box of Fire-Starting Nuggets, 100 Count Review

I purchased this product when the gentleman that installed our replacement
fire box demonstrated how easy it is to start a fire with them. Compared
to other products this is very inexpensive, less than $0.30 a nugget. Some
products, like paste, blocks, and sticks are three to five times more expensive than the nuggets. Best of all they work with small wood for a
quick start, then add the bigger stuff. You can, and I do, carry these in your backpack and/or car in case you get stranded; I usually put a couple in a small 'Ziploc' plastic bag along with a small box of matches.

Quickly and safely start any indoor or outdoor fire, in any season, with this box of 100 fire-starting nuggets. The non-toxic environmentally safe pine-scented nuggets have an unlimited shelf life and feature a blend of highly resinous, pulverized pitchwood sawdust and food-grade paraffin wax. Best of all, each nugget lights easily and burns strong for 15 minutes minimum, which means it only takes one round-shaped nugget to start the fire--no need for newspaper and kindling or messy lighter fluids or gels. The fire-starting nuggets leave behind no residue and can be safely used in fireplaces, fireplace inserts, wood stoves, and pellet stoves, as well as in barbeques and campfires. They make it easy to enjoy a nice fire without the hassle of getting it started. They also make a great addition to an emergency kit or backcountry survival kit. Made in the USA, the fire starters come in a box that measures 11 by 7 by 5 inches.
