Vaseline and cotton balls for me but what you did will work well. Well yes , but what do you use as a fire starter.

I've always just used shavings off a pine knot but those sure would come in handy when a pine knot couldn't be found. I got enough lighter knot in my backyard I collected over the years I could melt the North Pole! Wife laughs at me but I use it a lot! Always got some in all my kits/packs/ camping gear. Got some cut too "matches" and some small hand size blocks for shavings! J

Flint and Steel...char cloth ..Tow...and birch bark. Or a .357 case filled with pine sap works wonders with a match

When I worked in Alaska we used to always keep a roll of detonation cord to start ours in the field, burned great for a good while, throw some birch peels on there and you got a blaze in a minute or two Det cord (PETN) does burn well, and RDX with a plasticizer makes C-4, which also burns well. However, be careful of the toxic fumes they produce.

Bic lighter here, if it's wet I always carry TP in a freezer bag!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I use cardboard egg cartons, dryer lint & old sented cube wax from the melter in the house. Cut into 12 pieces starts fires in the fur shed. Same. The egg carton is really just to hold the lint though. Dryer lint works great in about any configuration, especially waxed. I’ll probably make some in TP tubes now.

Call me old-school, but I like matches and gasoline. Pretty much foolproof, but can be hard on forearm hair.
