These burn exceptionally well. And if you pull the cotton ball apart into 2 pieces, the strands of cotton that stick out are easily lit by a spark from a flint or ferroVaseline soaked cotton balls and a bic lighter. Mapp gas torch with a piezoelectric electric start works really well.
In case my description didn’t make senseMaking a bushcraft lighter is also fun.
Start with a standard bic lighter.
Wrap about a 1/4 thick layer of 1 inch wide gorilla tape around the base.
Wrap the same height of tape flush with the top of the lighter body. In the gap between the two wraps of tape, fill it by wrapping tarred bank line tightly until it reaches the same height as the tape. Tuck the end under one of the ends of the tape to secure it.
That gives you fire, tinder, as well as the ability to repair things.
A good ferro rod and striker is also good.
