RE: Tinderless fire
For the purposes of supplying a "safe" firelighting system, Soak a yard (or 915mm if you insist) of half inch sisal rope in a strong solution of saltpetre (potassium nitrate) overnight and air dry thouroughly for a week

Cut into 6" lengths and you have a "ship's" match the same as those used for firing cannons and muskets. When the very tip is spread out It will take a moderate spark to produce an ember that will last well, it gets hotter in the breeze and can be reused time and time again until the sisal is depleted.
Failure to prepare mentally, is preparing to fail totally.
