I use All of the previous methods and agree with them.
I still carry my dryer lint/paraffin wax/trick candle fire starters for times when it's so wet you need to split wood and need a super hot ignition source.
I'm always amazed too see people try to start a fire with forearm size pieces of wood instead of getting a base going with twigs/pine cones/ birch bark.
I've seen people throw/waste Coleman fuel on large pieces of wood in the futile attempt too ignite them :-? Even after the fuel burns off, they refuse too give up, and think they need even MORE fuel :(
