Match Friction Igniters

Step 2 Making the "Fire - Pocket"

Start off by getting the matchbox,aluminum duct tape,and scissors. Press the box (without the insert) flat.Then, cut off the striker.Also, when cutting, if you cut through both layers, you will get a peice of cardboard that has a striker, fold/crease, and a equal peice that is the same size as the striker pad. Crease well, and tape with duct tape(see picture 4).Gently insert a small screwdriver into the pocket to open it up(figure 5).
