This is why in our 'Earthquake Bag' we each have
------------------
Triox (Heximine) stove and fuel for three days and two liter cook pot
2 Bic lighters, Firesteel, tinder.
-------------------
The stove is about the size of a deck of playing cards, a box of fuel tabs fits (12 tabs) inside and each tab will make 2 liters of boiling water easily.
I wouldn't want to try cooking a seven course dinner on it, but for boiling water in an emergency, it's fine. Fits in a pocket if needed. Fuel can't accidentally spill. Easy to light.
With redundant lighters, together we have four Bics and two fire steels. The tinder is enough to start 10 fires. For tinder we carry cotton balls dipped in petroleum jelly that are pushed inside short lengths of plastic soda straws to reduce mess. They will light and burn in the rain.
