Update:

We went on an overnight hike and got home earlier this am as we have other commitments today. While out yesterday we had a chance to do some testing and experimenting without fear of the local Fire Department rolling their trucks.

Unfortunately there are no photos as the camera did not take well to an earlier adventure where I was putting it on the tripod. The camera decided to leap off the tripod and tumble down a 20' or so embankment....Now that we are home, the camera was fortunately easy to repair with the right tools. I will post a few photos of the hiking area that we managed to take before the camera decided that it was time to take a leap.
We may be going out again for a day hike next weekend and I will see if we have time to do some quick re-tests so that I can take some photos

In furthing the tests I did a few days ago, yesterday we spent about 1-1/2 hours in total trying different methods with the same products.
The ambient temperature was sunny and clear with temps of 4 - 6 C (38 - 40 F) and 87% humidity. The wood used was a mix of dry to medium wet pine, poplar and spruce.

In these tests, all the products were either slathered on the wood tinder or mixed directly in the tinder. The results were pretty much as expected and did not yield any suprises.

Here are the results of the products previously tested.

Neopsorin Cream:
This cream was both mixed into tinder or smeared directly on. We did not see any appreciable or usefulness of this. In fact, it appeared to hinder the fire more then anything as it acted as a barrier to the flame.
Conclusion: Not worth the effort.

Hand Sanitizer
As in the original test, this product was by far the best. The hand sanitizer is gelled and it does not take very much of it to slather onto some small pieces of tinder and light it up. In no time flat, the fire was blazing and it was also relatively easy to re-light after being doused with water. That being said, the amount of unburned gell remaining on the wood will decide how easy it would to re-light.
Conclusion: If you are going to carry a liquid type of fire starting accelerant, this is the product you want to carry. The small bottle which we carry, will in all probability and if used judiously will last for enough fires until you are back to safety or rescued.

Vaseline:
We tested this with a couple of different methods. First up was lighting cotton t-shirt material which we know burns ok. Again it was very noticable that the cotton material burns and the vaseline mostly melts away. While it was burning, we added wood to the flame and it eventually caught and did burn slightly longer and with more flame. Next method was to smear vaseline directly onto one end of a fuzzed twig about 14 inches long and 3/8 in diameter. I lit up one end of the wood with no vaseline on it and let the fire burn to the other end. Once it caught, again the wood burned and longer. Lastly, smearing vaseline directly onto several different sized pieces of wood then throwing these pieces directly onto an existing fire resulted in longer burning and fire.
Conclusion: I am not convinced that vaseline is the best accelerant to use. For all it's discussion on this forum and others, this is one method that I would not want to use...there are much better (and less messy/greasy) alternatives out there.

Aftershave:
Although it is not gelled, the aftershave being poured onto wood and lit, burns much like the hand sanitizer on. It did not readily survive being doused with water and re-lit (4 matches later). Although it burns very good, the smell is horrible and will help the meaneast, hungriest bear miles away from your camp.
Conclusion: How may people carry aftershave in their backpack or EDC? For those who travel for work and keep a shaving bag in the car, the afteshave may come in handy if you ever breakdown in the middle of nowwhere and need a fire for warmth, food cooking etc.

Candle:
As in the previous test at home, the candle performed almost flawlessy. It was easy to light intially and after being doused with water.
Conclusion: the candle is as basic as it gets. We always carry 2-3 small stubs in the backpack and though we rarely have had to use them, they have never failed us.

Chapstick:
The chapstick was a mixed bag of results. First we took a half tube of it and cut into small pieces and added to a very small fire. Although the fire perked up a bit, it was not what you would call a sucess. Next we warmed up some chapstick our hands the smeared onto some wood and lit the wood. Again there was no real big difference in the burn rate or time. Finally, smearing some more wood with the last of the chapstick then throwing this into an already burning fire made a noticeable difference but not a whole lot....That being said, the difference may be enough when you really need it.
Conclusion: Most people carry chapstick and while it is not the best out there, as I alluded to above, it may help when you really need it. The one major drawback is that the tubes of chapstick do not hold a lot. If you start with only 1/2 a tube then you need to get the fire started on the first or 2nd attempt.

Lip Balm.
This will not catch and burn on its own, however it worked ok when it is smeared onto very dry tinder then lit on fire. The balm burned longer and with more flames then the wood probably would of. Tossing small dabs directly onto the fire resulted in very small and brief spurts of flame intensity.
Conclusion: I don't like chapstick for my lips but I do like lip balm, hence it is in my EDC and our hiking backpacks. Although it was not the best accelerant, a small container lasts much longer then the chapstick does which in turn, increases the odds of successfully lighting a fire.

Egg Carton and Candle Wax Tinder
(see the posts I made a couple of days ago on making these)
As I demonstrated in my previous posts, these burn great and will make the differene in having a fire and not having a fire. These can also survive a good dunk of water and still re-light. In the field testing yesterday (and in actual use in past outings over the years), the results in using this method as an accelerant is flawless.
Conclusion:
The combination of the cardboard, wood shavings/sawdust, candle wax and embedded match heads make for an idea fire accelerant under the worst weather and enviromental conditions. I have only carried these and candles over the years and they have and will remain my choice of tinnder/ accelerants to use.

PolySporin Ointment:
No testing as we forgot it at home...


Summary:
I decided to test these many of the above methods as over the years, I have read many discussions on their abilities without hearing or seeing any actual testing out in the field.

All the above products / methods will burn under idea under controlled and idea conditions. Out in the field, these conditions are not perfect and with some of the above methods, I would not waste my time on or depend on being my fire accelerant savior....but thats just my opinion.

Your thoughts, experience and and results may be far different then the above.
