WOOD MATCHES

The individual hot climate survival kit is equipped with a plastic

waterproof container of nonsafety wood matches. The matches

are to be used as a fire starter when you are in need of warmth,

when cooking rations, or to produce smoke signals for attracting

rescue parties. Upon opening the container of matches, insure

the container contents are transferred to the waterproof match box

for further protection from moisture or damage, and are placed

with the heads down.
