>>1076166> Burning soaked frozen sticksYeah, that might work if you use a lot of gasoline or lighter fluid or other flammable liquids. Maybe your EDC napalm does the trick, try it.
> wet tinder> damp kindling> windClose encounters of the third kind. A true winner.
Even the excellent SAS survival handbook says "if the outside [of kindling] is damp, shave until the dry middle is reached".
The quickest way to split a stick is to use the knife, if you have no axe.
Also, while you're at it, the same book says: "If it is absolutely necessary to split logs in order to conserve fuel, an axe is not needed. Even quite a small knife placed on the end of a log and hit with another hard log may split it. Once begun, plug a wooden wedge in the opened gap and drive this downward to complete the split."
The figure in the book shows a big log which is not smart to baton fully. Smaller ones can be fully split with batoning. Batonny chop hop to you too.

PS. Maybe you should go teach winter survival for the military, they might really appreciate your expertise.
