If you ever need a good go to souce for a fire in the field we would take an empty camera case and a jar of petrojelly. Heat the jelly outside in a pan and put cotton in the case, pour the liquid jelly onto the cotton in the case and just keep adding cotton unti it is full. You would be surprised how much cotton you can get into a camera case. Let it dry and when you want to make a fire with one match pull out a little pull of the cotton from the case and it will start a fire with damp but generally dry wood. I have made a fire with wood that was frozen as well. That will get you close to a one match fire.
