LOL. I prefer ‘wizened’ over lazy. I’ve got those Swedish fire starters, magnesium blocks, and parafin coated blue tips in my OSK’s, but those are in case the Mr. Scripto solution fails.
Here’s another thought. Toss a deck of cards in there. I know the idea is enough to get you home, but if you have to hole up someplace a deck of cards can help pass the time.
Best,

I once tried to make my own “waterproof” matches. I took a hundred or so of the strike anywhere ones and dipped the match heads in hot candle wax.
For some reason it never occurred to me that they might not work. One day I decided to use some to start a fire and none of them would light. Not even if I scraped the tallow off. Maybe some other brands of matches or candles might have worked but mine did not.
