Yeah, I usually don't use PJ because it's messy. Plus I don't want to make it too easy. Usually I use the opportunity to practice my firestarting skills, so I want to make it challenging. I've tried things like using only natural tinder found in the wild, using only dry cotton, seeing how little cotton or fatwood I can use to start a fire, etc. I always keep a tin of Burt's Bee's lipbalm with me, so I can always add that to the mix too if I need it. Plus I usually have a mag bar and rubberbands too.
