Coating the lint in paraffin (or cheap candles from the dollar store) will help protect it from getting wet. Magnesium bars are cheap and light too. Scrape a little on top and hit it with your flint/steel. Magnesium burns at about 5,000 degrees (it’s used in flares) and will help get any fire going.
i get a piece of lint from my dryer and and a flint thingy from lighter
if link is wet or has been wet recently, can it start a fire?

use peanut butter or potato chips for fire starters as well.
