I use dryer lint/cattail heads extensively - it's my favorite method in winter because it takes a spark from a firesteel, and I find whacking the firesteel takes the least amount of coordination of anything. Yes, char cloth would work too, but with char cloth I have to catch a spark and blow it into flame. dryer lint just takes off burning..
