Using bandages or sheet rope to light fires

Currently we can use kindling, books, skill books, newspapers, magazines, journals and maybe a couple other items to light a camp fire....

 

Well bandages and rope aren't too hard to make out of fabric, and would make for excellent materials to light a fire with if you have matches or a lighter to go with it. Honestly makes more sense than potentially squandering away a skillbook.

I could swear that my character did kindling using bandage. Do I remember that correctly?

 

As for your suggestion - you are proposing using material (bandage, sweater, sheet, etc) to use for starting the fire?

 

In that case I think plastic bag should be used as well, I remember that it was easier to light wet wood using plastic bag than paper.

Plastic bags do indeed burn. The fumes are obnoxious though. Should maybe cause sadness and a small amount of health damage if used to start a fire.

I don't even remember being sad when starting the fire that way - quite the opposite ;-)
