Fire is your friend in the wilds.
I make home made vaseline and cotton wool fire lighters which will catch your tinder and kindling or dry the tinder if it's a little damp.
This tutorial from an American survivalist is almost exactly how I make mine but I rub the vaseline in with my fingers rather than a spoon.
I keep 10 in a zip-lock bag in my fire kit, the zip-lock bag keeps them dry if you take a dunking.
They will light with ease from a ferro and striker when you have the problem of wet lighters and matches.
We timed one of our fire lighters and it's burn time was a couple of seconds under two minutes.
Remember, the vaseline has to be petroleum jelly vaseline which can be bought in those £1 land stores in bloody large pots for £1 funny enough lol
