I want to know what you plan to do with the wet tinder.

It's actually called "wet fire tinder." Woods Walker mentioned it and I looked into it. The stuff is really pretty amazing. It comes in prepackaged little cubes about the size of a big marble. Super light and burns very hot for a surprisingly long time. I was also impressed at it's wind resistance. Ignitable with a magnesium fire stick (spark maker) if you create a little pile of powder with about a 1/4 of it.

I have put a few packs of it and a spark maker in with my camera case which I have on me always as well as several more in my more traditional "ditch kit". Likely will never need the stuff. Risk/reward equation makes it worth it IMO.
