Use the dried out catail fuzz.. keep it expanded and it will start up like a flare, I keep some in a waterproof container with me all the time.
I use the strike force as mentioned above, great tool.

The photo is of a swedish firesteel.. actualy a ferrocium rod (man made product)
It produces a hotter spark than a true flint.

I use wooden matches a lot but do carry several layers of firestarters:
wooden matches
ferro rod
butane lighter
piece of flint
a top socket of antler for a fire drill/leather lace (as a pendant)...
