Good to hear about options for fire starting, thanks.
I'm going on a week-long camp trip (car camping in a state park so not especially perilous) in August and plan to play around with several fire starting options - some dedicated fire making products as well as pj-cotton balls, steel wool and magnesium.
I, too, am especially keen on the cotton balls and petroleum jelly. Cheap, easy and innocuous to have those products at home, in the car and in a pack -- and they are multi-use so I have them around anyway.
If I can get some Sure2Burns before the trip, I'll try them out.
