I'm with Red & g4ghb - I have a firesteel in my lock-knife and one on my sheath. seldom bother using them, despite obvious ability. usually just need a bloomin' fire lit pronto, so carry a turboflame jobby. If I take anything to help it get going then I use those self striking BBQ matches (cardboard & wax). they work.
Regarding my like for quick fire - I'm as able as any of the rest of you to get a fire going (given time, desperation and not a lot else), but I'd much rather the gap between "I'll light a fire" and "cor, that's a nice fire" was as close to zero as possible.
And when it comes to getting a brew on - I'm a Jetboil man (top tip - only boil half the water you need, top up with cold and get your brew down your neck immediately)
