Strike-A-Fire

Strike-A-Fire, made by the Diamond Match Company, is a fire starter with a built-in match. Just strike it on the striking surface on the box and the Strike-A-Fire burns with a strong flame for about 12 minutes. There is no need for additional tinder or kindling. Intended for lighting grills, barbecues, and wood-stoves; the Strike-A-Fire is an excellent addition to your survival kit or bug-out gear. If you lose or destroy the match striking surface on the box, any similar matchbox surface will work; and the match end of the Strike-A-Fire is also easily lit with the spark from a fire-steel.

I personally carry Strike-A-Fire in my outdoor gear. A similar product is also made by Coghlan (a company which makes a lot of camping gear). If you may find yourself in a situation where you have to light a fire during wet or difficult conditions, consider adding Strike-A-Fire to your survival gear.
