One type of tinder I really like, but I haven't seen on here is wax paper. Yeah, the stuff you buy at the supermarket for baking. Its completely water proof (surprise), burns relatively long and hot, burns even in high wind like newsprint and a lot of it can be folded into a small space. Alas, its not for you firesteel only types as it doesn't really take a spark.
If you crinkle it up, it can take a spark pretty well. I like wax paper, and also cut up milk cartons. They function the same (waterproof), but don't take a spark.
