The cotton balls soaked in Vaseline are by far the best. Each one will burn for 5 minutes even when wet. They don't need a match or lighter to start. Just a spark will do. I pull them apart before lighting. They work well for chapped lips too when the Chapstick turns up missing. Only down side is they stick to my fingers when very cold. Kinda something to think about when lighting the stove. I put one on a twig first.
Oh nice set up you have. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I would toss in a homemade med kit. Mine has helped with tons of cuts, stings and other less dangerous but more common things that happen on a day hike. The Imodium AD inside my kit is a must have.
That TI bowl is good for melting snow. Nothing sucks more than eating snow for water. It just helps drop your core temp faster. Warm water is a big help.
I did see some socks in your pack. I have room for some wool gloves that I add with the sleeping hat in winter but need to toss some socks in the thing. I forgot all about them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
