the vas/cotton is probably one of the best tinders to use (although i use wax soaked as it is less sticky)
another good one to try is make your own fatwood, take wood shavings or sawdust and soak in wd40, it takes a spark well and burns a goodly long time (although you would have to build a wind break to use this as it would blow away if you are not careful)
