Buy looong tent pegs. Short ones tend to pull out during monsoons. Do you like Fritos? Put some under your tinder for a fire and you can have a blaze with one match. Speaking of such I like wood kitchen matches, but don't buy the strike anywhere type. You don't want your pack catching on fire.

Fritos as tinder? Will wonders never cease!

As for matches, how about one of these little doohickies?



My grandfather had one and he seemed to like it.
