Hi big_al
My kit consists of two items: (1) cotton balls and (2) 1 inch by 6 foot pieces of toilet tissue rolled into loose, 1 inch diameter rolls and soaked in paraffin. I keep eight of each in a Zip-Lock bag along with my magnesium scratch block.
Buld up your wood in whatever way you personally like it - I prefer the traditional teepee design with bigger sticks over smaller sticks - all collected from standing deadwood, of course.
Make a little hole under your woodpile. Peel one end of your waxed paper back so about one inch is unrolled. Place it under your wood. Place one cotton ball under this unpeeled waxed paper.
Strike sparks into your cotton ball and you have instant fire, even in wind and pouring rain.
Yes, I'm sure the purists will suggest this is cheating a bit, but, to my thinking, no more than bringing such things as shavings from your garage.
To each his or her own.
Enjoy.
