Nice selection, great video. Very important: Paracord burns rather slow and very hot. And Paracord is almost in every bug out bag I have ever seen. Also: rubber bands or inner tubes of bycicles. Those are basically wildfires waiting to happen. What I personally prefer: I dip the top third and bottom third of a cotton round in candle wax and leave the mid third as is. Once you need a fire you can pull the wax covered parts apart a little bit and the middle part which is not covered in wax will take a spark from a ferro rod. And they burn for 3-8 minutes. That's my ultimate fire starter.
I really need to try it that way. It works good for me just using the small container and using it as need but that sounds like a very convenient way to stage them.
