    This thread will be used simply to ask you some questions about where you can find these things:

    Matches with yellow matcheads

    This will be updated with more items, but for now... Meh.

    Buy (I forget which type) lab grade sulfur and stick it on a piece of wood, preferably one such as a toothpick or something of similar size to that of a regular match stick. Do be careful, yellowed sulfur is toxic, so wash your hands after handling.

     I would assume outdoor pursuit stores would have them, they tend to have the specialist outdoor equipment that I suspect strike-anywhere matches would be a part of. But according to this http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-3703.html

    they are illegel in the UK (depending on the formula used to make the flammable tip).

    They're rarely produced these days as safety matches are preferred over strike-anywhere matches.

     Yeah, they have a tendency to ignite in the box if they move around :/ A friend of mine from my scout days took some on camp but he got those from his dad who was ex-military so he probably had some from then, damn good matches though, good for fire lighting on camp.

    Any specific size of battery? Not sure about the magnets, maybe a hardware store?

     One from a laptop. I don't want to use one that my laptop is using.

     

    Also, for the magnets...i'm looking for the big ones, hardware stores don't sell magnets that big, i think.

     I think there are places you can get laptop batteries but i'm not sure where, possibly somewhere like pc world. How big we talking for the magnets roughly?
