I have an idea about matches. Everybody always talks about dipping in wax or bags or making containers, but why not just tape?
Get a few strike-anywhere match boxes and use masking tape to cover the box completely, making it water proof. A good tape would make a box you could take to the bottom of a river and still cut it open to find dry matches.
It would work with regular strike on box matches if you take a pieces of paper and cover the box before using the tape. That way the tape doesn't destroy the strike-strip.
Anyway, I think we're getting to a point where we're going to be seeing hard decisions made. In other words, DOOM cometh.
