Open one and try em. Put em into use. If good, rest should go in an ammo can or something.
I have a decent amount of matches from before things went downhill, but these days I buy strike anywhere matches and expect to use them on a striker in order to have reliable use of new stuff.
Depending on what your needs are, there are other options.
Can use a lighter to light a small stick or chop stick or something else and then use that to light whatever you need to reach if the lighter won't reach. I have zippo for end of the world bic stuff is dead.
I like some of the butane refillable sotering stuff, I consider em a cool lighter. Cans of butane store great.
I have some ohio blue tips like what is pictured above, they went into an ammo can long ago.
A match has a purpose, but other things can do the job. It may not be as efficient but it can get things done.
I do have some bic and other similar lighters as well.
But honestly, some zippos and zippo fuel of some sort, some want zippo and some research things and buy stuff in the hardware section, is for when I might have a need for lighting things somewhat often.
I hope to not go back to the sort of thing where people carried a few coals around in order to be able to light stuff on fire.
About the only matches I have bought in the last 5 years are some of the ones that are considered the survivalist matches or something, big brown 1 inch or so match head and comes in a plastic container and they tend to be expensive but they work.
You can also look at waterproofing matches and other stuff, but I never felt like messing with it.
If starting today, I would get a bunch of strike anywhere matches and consider them to be strike on box matches. They tend to be reliable that way.
A bunch of bic lighters so I can watch fluid evaporate out of some while others don't lose any fluid.
Zippo and flints and wicks and zippo fluid of some sort.
Candles.
If I don't have some trees in the yard to help with the small stick need if I run out of matches then I might look at options such as toothpicks or something for setting on fire and then using that to light my coleman lantern or something.
