I have been a match guy for 55 years I always carry them in my gear in various types of containers. When I was a kid we favored the Ohio blue tips for camping and hikes and woods tramping. My folks liked the diamond option for the wood stove. But they were always available regardless. Then a few years back things changed do to hazmat regulations and tweakers and such. Virtually the only available option is the diamond greenlight. They are doable but a far cry from the old ones. I recently came across some Cartwright brand in a mom and pop and bought up the few boxes they had. They are good matches that will strike on you pants, rocks. Side of the grill or whatever. The store I found them in said they have had the sitting there a long time so I don't know the availability but wanted folks to know that they are out there. I can't be the only geezer that prefers these to lighters for woodsy activities.
