What about carrying one of those disposable cigarrette lighters that you can

While there's no reason NOT to include disposable flint or piezo
lighters in your survival kit, in practice you will find the larger,
hotter flame provided by a kitchen match to be more practical when it
comes to starting a fire using whatever tinder is locally available.
