What makes the best kindling?

[CO Hummer]

My wife and I love to camp but always get into the same old argument - what makes the best kindling?

For years I've preferred the feathers of baby eagles. My wife swears by that black moss-like stuff you see on the ground and attached to rocks. Then again, many of my buddies will simply use gasoline poured over styrofoam and plastic cups.

The debate rages on. Your thoughts?

When in the west, my buds and I use these that have been allowed to dry in the sun. By doing this, we remove the hazards from the trail
