Tinder (Do you carry it?)

I seldom carry tender unless I am specifically camping, and then it is usually a bar or two of trioxane. But... I do not live in a habitually wet environment and tender is easy enough to gather on site most of the time. I do pluck/pinch/pick some duff along the way to a campsite and often have a bit of paper besides my precious toilet paper in my kit in addition to the trioxane and perhaps some wax from my candle lantern. I haven't ever needed it for an accelerant, but I usually also have a bit of duct tape and neosporin ointment in my kit for other purposes.
 
Whenever I head out for the woods, an Altoid tin with a firesteel, jute twine, PJ cotton balls & mini bic are in the tin.
 
No, but I have a pretty versatile kit which has enough combustibles if the location or conditions don't provide the necessities. I do carry a ferro rod though.
