I would be leery of lighter soaked wood chips!!You might have a fire you didn't want.

Much better to take dryer lint and parafin. Put the dryer lint on ice cube trays. Leave a little bit of the lint sticking up and then add melted parafin. The bit sticking up acts like a candle wick and melts the parafin and then ignites the lint. A few of these will give you a nice fire if set on newspaper and kindling.

While you have the parafin melted, stick the fire end of wooden matches in it and you have waterproof matches.
