When was the match invented? What chemical reactions take place to light a match? Wonder What's Next? Try It Out We hope you're fired up about checking out the following activities with a friend or family member: Ask an adult friend or family member to take you on a field trip to a local sporting goods store.
Check out the camping section. Pay particular attention to the area with cooking supplies. In the past, people had to rely upon matches and wood to light a fire to cook in the wild.
What about today? What examples do you find of modern technology that makes cooking while camping much easier? Do you even need matches these days? What other tools do you find that can be used in lieu of matches? If you were stranded in the woods and needed to start a fire to stay warm and cook food, could you do it? Ask an adult friend or family member to help you pretend to be a survivor stuck in the woods.
Can you gather wood and kindling? Can you start a fire without the benefit of matches or a lighter? Then take what you've learned into the wild to try to start your own fire without matches or a lighter. Good luck! In the mood for some arts and crafts? Make a match stick picture!

If this happens to you, there is nothing to worry about because there are ways you can strike a match without necessarily using the box. Here is how to light a match without the box. Although matches offer a safe and easy way of starting a fire, recognising a couple of ways on how to light a match without the box can be beneficial as you may find yourself in an unfamiliar situation.
After mastering the skills of starting a fire, you will even learn how to strike them on a couple of surfaces as a helpful trick. From time to time, you might find yourself in excellent outdoors, perhaps even in areas where you cannot communicate with the outside world. Now, if you need to light a fire when in these areas, here is how to light a match with other matches:.
First, this method requires you to get back to high school chemistry memories. It is worth noting that you must not have a striking surface to start a fire. The main reason for this is that some match sticks, such as the strike-anywhere, do not require a specialised surface. Most of the red-tipped safety matches you will find in your house do not contain potassium chlorate.
Still, you can easily make the red phosphorous matchsticks start if you strike them with sufficient friction to create enough heat to trip the chemical reaction. So, one of the best ways regarding how to light a safety match without the box demands you to hold four match sticks on the one hand and then rub one match head against the heads of the held sticks.

Or is it a case of trying push water up a hill and just don't bother going there cheers Logged Absolute Zombie Club Posts: 20, What's the matter, kid? The finer paper might work with a bit of practice and technique. Logged I'm the milk man! No not yet. I suppose I should just out of interest. Let me know what happens. If you can't do it I will give it a try as well.
I will give it a go and see what happens. I have some "paper" style matches from the video. Full Member Posts: mtngoat Re: How to strike safety matches?

Thats why abrasive paper doesnt work, no chemical reaction. Yep, that is the answer, and also the reason why they are called safety matches, i.
Quote from: Metal Mickey on November 19, , PM The obvious answer would be to cut the side off of a box and carry that with them. That is one option, and I've heard of people cutting a small piece of the box and gluing it inside whatever container is being used for the kit. The better option is strike anywhere matches, IMO, if you can find them. TBH, though, I prefer a firesteel and a bit of tinder in my kits over matches anyway.
I believe the OP knows about strike anywhere matches he was just interested to see if there were any possible ways to light a safety match in a manner it was not meant to be lit. Yep, that's pretty much it Cap'n. However, all replies appreciated and it is interesting to hear about the chemical reaction being required for ignition Thanks for that. I am guessing that the flexibility of the paper match and possibly coupled with the wider, flatter style of head probably helps with the coffee mug technique Logged Absolute Zombie Club Posts: 20, What's the matter, kid?

Thanks for starting the thread. Got me interested and now I know another use for the bottom of a coffee cup. Just in case you didn't know you could use the same area on the bottom of the coffee cup to sharpen a blade in a pinch.
