I have a reliable way of starting the campfire that works in light rain, etc. Here in Oz, some fresh produce is shipped in heavily waxed cardboard boxes. When my wife worked at the supermarket she would occasionally bring home veggie scraps for the chooks in these boxes. I saved a few, now when I want fire lighters I just cut a stack of strips about 1 inch by 4 inches. They work well. I start campfires and my pizza oven with them. I keep a little ~ 1 Litre bucket with snap on lid filled with these in the teardrop.
They are apparently a pain to recycle, so this is a good use for them, I think.
