If i'm somewhere and need to make fire, i'm not fucking around with flint/steel or rubbing sticks together. I'm going to make a fucking fire.
With motorized recreation, i've got gasoline handy, and I'm not afraid to utilize that. Half a gallon, even on fairly wet wood, will get things going right quick. >pic related. One guy got himself into a real bad situation down in the canyon.
Without gasoline .... Road flares work well. 15 minutes of fucking hot.
Carbide works well... the stuff in old miner's lamps. Add water, makes acetylene. Stuff's hard to find now, but lab supply shops can get it for you. Spit, snow, water bottle, whatever. Keep it in a little film can and pad it with some cotton, make sure the can seals well.
Cotton balls with some vaseline (don't go overboard with it) works fairly well too, but you still need an ignition source.
