If you have children around, you have crayons laying around also. Did you know that a crayon will burn for about 20 - 30 minutes? That may not be very long but it will help you get a little settled in. Or you could use them to start a fire if you are short of kindling.
Another lighting tip - and this one you can make in advance and keep stored and ready for an urgent need.
Simple as can be to make - Take an Altoids tin or any other similar container, cut strips of cardboard
to the height of the tin; roll tightly to fit in the container. Melt wax ( you can use old candles or fresh wax ) until barely fluid and pour into the tin. Let cool and store in a convenient location, away from open flames.
This will be super for your prepping supplies and also for camping. Again, this will be a great way to light a fire if you are short on kindling or the wood is damp, like happens so often on the beach.
Melting wax can be very simple but it does take a lot of attention. Check out this post to see just how easy it can be. Click here to see more.
