You can’t beat these matches. Had used similar ones in the military but much more expensive. These matches will not go out in rain or submerged when lit. They bubble underwater but within 2 seconds out of water they ignite. I’ve used these in the field many times. Won’t go in the bush without them. Only difference I noticed from normal matches. These go out as soon as the ignition source ends. Other matches ignite the wooden stick and keep an ember. But…these burn so hot for about 15 seconds I dont think you need to worry about an ember like normal match sticks. Be advised…these matches need to burn out completely…you can not blow them out or extinguish with water. After they burn out they are still very hot and flammable to other sources so excercise caution. These are emergency matches for survival or harsh environments. Don’t use these to light a candle for a romantic dinner. Actually I dont recommend using them indoors at all. I’m assuming its phosphorus but not sure…they put off a smell and smoke for short duration. My only gripe is the strikers. I bought extra striking paper and adhered to the one side of box. These matches use up alot of the striker during ignition. For emergency use you can’t beat the price vs quality.
