I found longish (8 or 9 inch) maya sticks on sale cheaply at a garden centre for lighting barecues and so forth. I keep a couple of cut down pieces in my tinder pouch just because it's waterproof. Take the saw of a SAK or leatherman to them and you can quickly make maya dust for pennies. Alternatively - light a whole stick straight off with a windmill lighter and you have an emergency candle or heavy duty firelighter.
