KEWL!
I am pretty sure there are state regulations, as I have bought the
strike-anywhere kind in some states (illinois, Missouri) but in others
(Iowa, Minnesota) can only find strike-on-the-box matches no matter how
hard I look. Camping outfitters are a good idea for a source, though.
Anecdote: On a high-school camping trip, a bunch of boys were scrambling
down the rocks when one discovered a handful of matches he'd stashed in
his pocket had scraped against each other and they all ignited. In the
front pocket of his jeans. He disrobed with memorable speed, though to
my disappointment I only heard the story second-hand.
Thanks to good girl-scout training, I lay a good fire and can build one
ready to start with one match, even if no paper's available. A popular
skill at keggers...er, survival expeditions.
