Possibly useful to store for any long term emergency in which matches or lighters may be in short supply.
Would appear to be of limited use for camping or most emergencies, since a fire is of course more likely to be needed when it is cold, wet, and lacking sunlight.
One could light a fire in sunlight, and keep it going until dark, but that would need a lot of fuel.
Useful for smokers since during sunlight it would save expending a match for each cigarete.
