Here in the UK we have no problem getting strike anywhere matches, the most common brand being Swan Vestas. But the most obvious place to your red phosphorus from is the strike of your regular match box. Just soak the match box in water and you can just scrape it off with a knife. Even so, disposable lighters are a far more practical solution. If you're worried it may not work, just carry two. They're completely water proof. If they get wet you just have to blow on the friction wheel to dry it off before use.

I learned to put a cotton ball, or several, in a pill bottle. Then put the match heads on the cotton. They don't chip, shake, or get bumped, and stay very dry in there. That cotton is a good tinder, too. It even works with a ferro rod. Cotton would fit in that little box, too.

@lucydog3376 8 месяцев назад

I spent hours making a whole box of 50 once. Lost half of them in an small explosion halfway through and had to start again. I finally finished making them all and put them in the box. Then I was like "thank god I'm done" and gave the box and little toss on to the bench in front of me and they all went up in flames within a split second. That was dumb thing to do.

@TruthIsTheNewHate84 7 месяцев назад

Cotton is awesome for fire starting. I soak cotton balls in Vaseline and stuff them into 1 inch sections of plastic straws. Then I melt the ends to close the straws. It keeps the Vaseline soaked cotton from getting wet. I then put a few of these in my knife sheath for emergency fire starter. Works great with a ferro rod.

@qawsedyhujik6428 10 месяцев назад

Totally agree with the comments below, great hack. I would like to add a few more chemical details about the caps mentioned in the video, these caps contain not just red Phosphorus but the mixture of red Phosphorus and Bertholite Salt - (P+KClO3), this mixture explodes on impact ( !!! that's why you need grind it in a mortar wet with water ) and this is what makes your homemade matches more powerful compared to factory ones, and this, by the way, makes them flammable not only from friction but also from impact, so be careful.

Here in western Canada, we always bought Eddy strike anywhere matches, now we buy strike anywhere matches that seldom light if not struck on the box.

I remember striking them with my thumbnail. A piece of the blue tip got wedged under my thumbnail while igniting. A strong reminder for a good week or so. Also remember making stink bombs with blue tips. Reconfigure a basic click pen with the internal spring. Adding a hairpin into the mechanism the match would be wedged into the spring and you would have a situation where the ignited match would burn inside the pen body and create a smelly odor. Fun when I was a kid.

@Thanos88888 10 месяцев назад

I also wrap a strip of duct tape around each match beneath the head. It extends the burn time of the match by about 5X with a larger flame which is great for getting a fire going.

@banjohappy 9 месяцев назад

The old rolls of "Bang caps" we got for our toy six shooters used real gun powder, not red phosphorus, as I recall. We used to carefully peel the red paper away from the white paper to expose the little dots of dark gray powder. My brother and I once put a whole roll of caps into the vise on my dad's shop table down in the cellar and cranked it down as far as we could, then BLAM!! the whole roll exploded at once and blew the vise wide open! Our ears were ringing for quite a while. We kept our guardian angels busy in those days.

@1pcfred 9 месяцев назад

The rolls of caps came in cardboard boxes of 5 rolls that were perforated and you'd pull them apart. So of course I took the whole 5 high stack and put it on an anvil and wacked it with a hammer. That was the end of my playing with caps days. You could say I went out with a bang. A loud bang at that.

@mrequi1 Месяц назад

We used to do that w a hammer. But then we had lawn darts too 😅

@ckjuicyj82 Месяц назад

As a kid I used to take a roll at a time and hit it with a big rock on the driveway or street. Pretty big bang. I got lucky a few times and found boxes of the rolls of 20 I believe it was, instead of 5. And at a discount.

@steveturner3999 10 месяцев назад

Great hack James. It made me think of a science report I did in 9th grade on phosphorus. Back in the late 1800’s someone came up with a candle that had white phosphorus coating the wick. Of course white phosphorus burns immediately upon contact with oxygen so these candles were enclosed in a glass vacuum tube, similar to a traditional test tube. All that was needed for a lighted candle was to break the glass! The ultimate emergency light for the times!Ingenious but very dangerous at the same time. I love your shared technique here and the fact that you stress the safety in process. I’ve dipped strike anywhere matches in wax like you demonstrated to help ensure they worked in damp conditions. I used a piece of fluted cardboard to hold them apart. Thanks for another project for all of us to try.

I put my matches in my empty prescription medication bottles. I am a medically retired vet who is diabled. I have various sized bottles that i use in my hiking and community defense tactical kits. Waterproof and already paid for. I started using empty med bottles early in my military career. I even use them to put seasonings, baking flours/powders and powdered soaps! I have my survival kit in a large and tall med bottle that held 3 months worth of large muscle relaxers. Point is you can re-utilize many things if you just think outside the box. I suped up my strike anywheres with candle wax as well.

Great hack. May I also suggest you stagger the matches so that all the heads aren’t facing the same direction. Every other one seems to work fine. One other thing that seems to work well, especially in our HOT South Texas Summers, is instead of candle wax, dip the match heads in Outdoor Spar Polyurethane Varnish. Not near as sticky, and seems to waterproof at least as well as wax. Thanks!!!

Wow thats amazing James , im gonna try this hack because I've been looking for strike anywhere matches and cant find them. Another trick you might try is to wrap duct tape on the match stick below the match head and about 3/4's down the stick. Duct tape is a fire starter and this will extend the match flame for a while instead of it burning up and being wasted.

@rebeccasilveous8898 10 месяцев назад

My aunt Virginia used to have a thing on her wall that was made of metal that held that bigger box of matches and I would always get some of them out and I learned from my dad how to take one of those stick matches and run my thumbnail across it and light it. Had to be real careful. I didn't want to get any of that match stuff under my thumbnail as I was striking at across the head of the match. But it worked every time. The things you learn when you're a kid. That's why they don't make them anymore because little kids were starting fires with them.

@WayPointSurvival 10 месяцев назад

You can also coat the tip of the match with fingernail polish. I use clear nail polish. It waterproofs matches just as well as wax does, with the added bonus that it won't melt in hot weather. Edit: I stick the matches in a block of Styrofoam to dry. It's a lot easier to manage than duct tape.

@blueberry766 I haven't noticed a bad odor when I've lit the nail polish coated matches. I doubt that the fumes are harmful. The match is lit for only a few seconds, probably not long enough to make a lot of fumes. If you're worried about it, just dip your matches in wax. Um, better make that BEESWAX... It's all natural... And don't inhale, you might breathe in phosphorus fumes!

@JoeXTheXJuggalo1 10 месяцев назад

Every time I get matches i always get a cheap bottle of clear fingernail polish and dip or paint the natch heads and partky up the match stick. It can be tedious when you get a big box but it is a life saver. I do this because over time if there's any fluctuations of things like moisture in the house or wherever you have the matches will ruin the whole box. I know from experience growing up at my parents house. So it became a habit to coat them in fingernails polish to ototect the match head and half the stick from moisture.

We knew this in our hearts and we knew everyone else knew this to be truth. One of the ways we'd demonstrate this truth. Was with strike anywhere matches. Which we'd ignite by striking them on our teeth, the seat of our britches, or, and this was the coolest method While slightly less badass than striking on one's teeth. We'd use our thumbnail to pop the top of the match. Once after having shown all the other kids our own age, 9 to 11. How godlike we were in our coolness. We'd then pull our lucky strike non filters. From our rolled up plain white t-shirt sleeve, and proceed to make every little boy and probably most of their father's as well, want to be us, and every little girl and most of their mothers, want us. By striking our strike anywhere match and lighting our cigarettes, without filters, because we were men, the coolest of men, and all knew we were. To be fair we were pretty much as cool and badass as we believed ourselves to be

The strike pad on the match box is Red Phosphorous. The red stuff your scaping out of the caps is called Armstrong mixture. You can easily make it your self with. There's tons of videos on RU-vid showing how to do it.

Wow! Ohio Blue Tip, was the standard when I grew up, about fifteen miles from Wadsworth. I can remember talking to a chemist from “The Match”, one evening in a tavern. He covered all of the mechanics and chemistry involved. I had wondered at times about whether “box matches” could be converted. Now, after more than fifty years I have the answer, and the details. I thank you for the look over your shoulder. A zipper on a pair of jeans is a stand by dry striker in wet weather.

Just a bit of advice, store these in mouse and rat proof containers, one chew and they will burn down the cabin.

@opotime 10 месяцев назад

Thank you

@WayPointSurvival 10 месяцев назад

That's why I recommended storing them in the metal tin.

You can usually find the blue diamond brand at Ace Hardware stores. They're probably not as good as these, but I don't have a mortar and pestle at the moment.

I've never seen strike anywhere matches here in Australia. I've seen them on USA tv shows. Mystery solved. Handy to know. I carry a firesteel as backup to regular matches. Thank you for sharing.
