Dryer lint. I haven't done this, but outdoor matched with the heads dipped in wax. Keeps them dry and makes a good flame. Cotton balls dipped in wax. Keeps the cotton dry and makes a good fire.

Dryer lint is amazing for fire, it's how I start mine every time along with a Swedish Firesteel. For a situation where it's moist you can dip it into Vaseline and it'll stay lit for several minutes.

Eta....didn't read through and post above beat me although I'd rather use lint. It's free and cotton balls aren't.
