lighting a fire in the WET!!

high wood is dry wood

Best natural kindling is birch bark. It will light even when wet. The natural oil in birch make it so. Birch grows mostly in the north USA.

Best man-made kindling is dryer lint! Collect it from laundromats, ball it up and store it in your pack.

An ugly shirt, especially a Christmas sweater, catches fire pretty easily and will burn for quite a while, catching larger pieces of wood on fire. You may burn one and think, "I started that fire so fast!" But you're technically CHEATING.
