If you have time, I'd love to hear a trip report. As much detail as you can provide will be great! I love camping but haven't done bike touring yet.

You can make fire starters with dryer lint and wax, though I don't know that these would be lighter/easier to carry than lighter fluid. If you want to try it, fill the indentations in a cardboard egg carton with dryer lint and pour melted wax over them. Cut them apart and use 1-2 per fire. Just light the cardboard part and away you go.

Have a great time!
