I know that, Tom. I doubt anyone thinks you would call people names...
At Rendezvous, folks use char cloth made from mattress ticking, denim, and T-shirts. I make mine from cotton work gloves. When I use a 'fire piston' instead of the flint and steel, I use "Chaga" as the tinder. It burns longer than char cloth and works better in the smaller cup of the fire piston. I much prefer the flint and steel over the piston, and make my own strikers out of old files!
