Any of you use Fire Starter? It's essentially a small does of napalm. I've used it to start fires in pretty rugged circumstances.

I sometimes carry it in my gear pack, but its a little messy/heavy to put into the ditch kit that I'm wearing.

Looking at the solotripping material, in one episode of Survivorman with Les Stroud, he started a fire with a single frito chip.  I'm sure a small bag would make an inferno.  I guess that makes it a good survival food, since it is "multi-purpose."  

BTW:  In another episode, Les also destroyed a ring saw with one pull and he also complained that it wasn't long enough for a snare wire.  I discussed this with my paddling partner over dinner last night (he is a retired veterinarian) and he has a length of bone saw wire in this gear that came from his vet. practice.  I may have to check that out as a "ring saw" replacement.
