I found a very light weight survival type gear...PING-PONG BALLS!
If you need to make a fire quickly, in wet conditions, ignite a ping-pong ball under some kindling. If ya have any cracked or spare ping-pong balls handy just take a cigarette lighter to it and be prepared to drop it quickly! Don't do this in the house over the livingroom sofa. Op

Birch bark. No prep, no carry. Various pine barks, cones and needles are also very good. Wolfgang who hears that mice will also do in a pinch.

But its been on my "going to do" list for about 10 years and it hasn't happened yet. I had a stash of snoose cans a friend of mine saved for me, but I think I lost them. jh
