Disposable lighter here. Not much into gooey cotton balls.

disposable lighters do not work very well in really cold weather - wood matches work in cold but are useless in high winds - magnesium fire starter + Vaseline soaked cotton ball or paraffin soaked saw dust will work under all conditions - all current military survival kits that i know of have the magnesium starters - been years since i have seen one with a waterproof match case -

The work if you keep them warm. I keep one in my inner jacket pocket when hunting.

Sure do if you pre-warm them in a warm mitten. Gotta get the propane inside warm enough to vaporize.

Bellows1, i did not realize you could use chapstick for starting fires or cuts/scrapes, i'll have to try it. Thanks, learn something new every day!

I didn't either...lol I wonder if earwax makes good firestarter?
