Here's hoping no one gets lost and needs to try it.
Yes greasy chips do make for decent firestarters,
Would think carton tube pringles come in make a better kindling.
Other firestarters to consider is toilet paper,
When rolll runs low I usually take it out and carry that with me.
I also use lint from the drier, as its light and takes like almost no space.
If I plan on staying out more than 1-2 nights I also sometimes pack a couple sterno candles,
And of course paper /kindling don't help unless you have matches/lighter/mag stick etc..
