But if you bring extra lighters or matches,you will never be without fire. A Ziploc bag is great for keeping extra matches or lighters dry too.

I should add that we realized we don't need a dvd player because our son's PS2 does double duty. You can play audio CDs on a PS2 as well. Thanks for the input Miche.
