After making the thread 100 uses of paracord it got me thing of other '100' threads, so today im starting the 100 materials for tinder

Rules:

Must be a material that can be procured in the wild or small enough to take in a rucksack

The material can either be traditional tinder, that takes with a spark, or is otherwise useful to stating a fire (eg a candle).

My old Scout leader used to recommend wirewool and a battery. Your fingers get a bit warm though. Not the best idea so I won't put it on the list!!
