[QUOTE="Singed, post: 603448, member: 6261"] Strike anywhere matches always have a tip, usually white or blue, that contains red phosphorous. They are sometimes listed as "survival" matches. Friction or pressure on the tip ignites the red phosphorous compound which lights the regular matchhead. I've lit strike anywhere matches on a window pane, my blue jean zipper, desk tops - can't do that with box-strikes, which are also called safety matches. The last place I recall seeing them for open sale is in camping or outfitting retailers, Cabelas, Northern Outfitters, etc.. I have seen them online but shipping them in Canada is restricted. There are several "how to..." videos online to make your own but I won't delve into that, it's in the realm of The Anarchist Cookbook. [/QUOTE]
