New page

=Basics=
*Stormproof Matches are a "Step Up" From [[Waterproof Matches]] in terms of rugged-ness, and in some cases are also [[Waterproof Matches]]
*They typically contain some sort of [[Oxidizer]] such as [[Sodium Perchlorate]] or [[Potassium Perchlorate]] to allow for (partial) combustion even when buried in dirt/debris, or even if put underwater (after being lit)
*A bit more expensive, but typically a bit larger than the average [[Safety Matches]] / [[Waterproof Matches]] and given that the only real use case for matches short of Historical Relevance / As a Curioisity is for [[Dissimilar Redundancy]] in Supplies for Emergencies etc, they are a more apt purchase due to their more rugged nature

=To-Do's=
*Determine Long Term Storage Viability / Potential Issues ( [[Organic Peroxide Formation]] / Other [[Instability from Storage]] )
*Determine [[Dud Rate]] / How that relates with Storage Time (Mainly in order to determine a proper [[Shelf Life]] for planning maintaining various emergency supplies)
*Track down some [[SDS]] on these + mess around with DIY/OS Mixtures

=Internal Links=
*[[Matches]]
**[[Safety Matches]] (The "normal" match)
**[[Waterproof Matches]] ( "Normal" Matches Coated in Something In Order to be Waterproof BEFORE They Are Used (No Effect After Ignition, Water will still Extinguish Them)
*[[Firestarting Rope]] (Some sort of Rope (Typically [[Jute Rope]] ) Infused with something such as [[Paraffin Wax]] to waterproof it + aid in combustion
**These plus a [[Lighter]] and/or [[Ferro Rod]] make a viable alternative to matches in most cases
**For Gas Stoves/[[Gas Mantle Lanterns]] a [[Piezoelectric Lighter]] or [[Plasma Lighter]] / [[Lighter]] / [[Permanent Match]] etc will suffice
