We had a bunch of tinder left over from our camping trip last weekend. We wanted to keep it so we could use it in a pinch if we need it, so we put together a little pocket tinder kit using an old Altoids-style tin. It contains:

-birch bark
-cedar bark
-pine wood chips
-cedar twigs
-pine pitch
-cotton balls

It should all work together to make a nice tinder bundle. That's the plan anyway. I closed it with some duct tape to help keep everything dry. The tin would make a great vessel for making char cloth but we haven't put in any source of ignition. A spark lite might fit... any other suggestions?

EDIT: I don't have an extra spark lite around but a book of matches fit in nicely. I threw in some strike anywhere matches as well.
