If you are packing ordinary matches of any kind, you are not aware of the incredible advantages of at least two ferrocerium rods, size 1/2" × 6", ( one is none, two is one). That ignorance can kill you. Go to you tube for videos of ferro rods (sparking) firestarters.
The very easily peeled off bark (even wet) of a white. birch tree is like gasoline for tinder for starting a fire too.
Also look up FATWOOD, another naturally available pine tree resin infused wood that ignites fast and burns for a long, long time. You only need VERY small pieces of it
to start a fire, it also even burns wet, you can scrape, or shave curls from a small piece of it.it to start a fire with a ferro rod.
NOTE:
TIE A (AT LEAST 1 FOOT) ROYAL BLUE paracord Line
( lanyard) to your ferro rods. So you won't lose them and can find them quickly if you drop or left them some where.
Royal Blue is the only color you won't find in nature and can quickly find knives, ferro rods and other small
VERY important tools if you have a royal blue lanyard on them.
