BIC lighters, take two of them. Also use inner tube rubber as firestarters, which might be just a Kiwi thing.
After doing a couple of canoe trips that came undone, I have started carrying one of those magnesuim striker things that are all the rage - not because I want to light a fire with them like a mountain man, but because at least you can light the gas cooker with them and make a cup of tea while you wait eight minutes for your Bic lighter to dry out. Bic lighters are remarkably efficient.
