These things are hard to put out with wind or water.
I just bought about 400 matches(8 packs) myself.
some trimming was necessary to fit my matchbox.

I think you can pick those similar kinds at canadian tire last time i saw. I'm not sure if it's as extreme as those though. They have wind proof matches or blast matches I think their called too. You can strike them in the wind and they kind of explode into a flame and hold a pretty big flame for a good 5 seconds around. I haven't tried getting them wet though.... Hope it help Troop Very Happy

Yeah Coghlans has a version of that sold on canadian tire, not quite as long, but they burn so quick the time difference is probably like 3-4 seconds for the Canadian Tire ones chemical to burn out and 5-6 seconds for your matches would imagine. I tested my Coghlan ones by keeping it in a glass of water overnight and then trying to light it while my sister was blowing as hard as she could to simulate wind haha.. still worked
