My tip is to take some cotton balls, cover them with petroleum jelly and then stuff them into a film canister. They light easily and burn for a long time.
i have used this method myself and it works very well

works well! by: Brian
I've been using this method for many years when I can't find any dry natural tinder (or just to lazy to look)you don't need alot of petrolium jelly what I do is slop some into the film canister then pack a cotton ball slop some more jelly in and shove another cotton ball in i'll do this till I can't shove any more cotton in.once the canister is full (35MM camera film canister) I tape it up with electrical tape for waterproofing.

This is the best yet. I use these all the time, they light with even the smallest of sparks and they do burn a long time and you can put about 8 in a film canister
