In modern/urban survival it is important to have a ready-made durable light-source. Mega-matches are easy to make, store, and light. Ambient, usable light can last over 5 - 10mins. Below is what you need.

• Wooden kitchen, preferably strike-anywhere matches
• Cotton balls, dryer lint, dandelion fluff, or cattail down
• Beeswax or paraffin (synthetic wax)
• Small sandwich bag, mini-bags, plastic wrap
• Old medicine bottle, (Altoid) tin, or other type of storage.
