    I must over do it then. I think I have lint, steel wool, fatwood, and PJ cotton balls. Like Rick, I use a 35mm film cannister to hold the PJ cotton balls.

    I am thinking about purchasing a few of these as well:

    I am still trying to find a good container for my kit. I think I have an old tin, but I am not too sure it's waterproof..

    Think a couple of times before buying PP. That stuff is an oxidizer and pretty powerful. In addition, it stains just about anything it touches including glass.

    I do have a zippo type lighter when it runs out of fuel we used to use any type of fuel in Viet Nam. I also have several small "T" candles in my kit, just light the candle which will take less heat than the rest of the stuff. So that will give you another sourse of heat.

    I like your kit is seems to have back up after back up, which i like. Also the container is nice to have all fire starting methods together. Only comment I might add is to go ahead and replace the lint with cotton balls like you said.
    I also have a kit similiar to this.

    Just a hint on the container. If you find them buy more than you need. They are not manufactured any more and getting very scarce.

    I have been buying plastic match cannisters from military and hunting and surplus stores whenever I see em. They`r cheap, tuff and waterproof. Just a little small.
