Okay, the survival thread yielded some pretty good stuff, guys.  Then the "online sources for info" thread sorta got harpooned.  Here's another one that could save someone's life.

How do you get a fire going?  Let's toss it all in here; blazo, matches, flares, whatever.  I'm interested particularly in how you get a fire going with wet wood or in really bad weather.

Keep in mind that some items traditionally used can not legally be transported by commercial air, so anyone looking here for advice must first check with their commercial carrier to ensure that they're not breaking the law!  TSA will confiscate the goods and you could be in a world of trouble!

Let's have at it!  Git 'er done!

-Mike
