The link didn' t mention the ten essentials, though most of us probably routinely carry the items.

I used tea lights to boil eggs at Massanutten during a power outage - not fun.

My buddy and I used solid fuel cylinders about 1962 to boil water. After 2 hours we gave up and made a small wood fire. That boiled the water in less than 15 minutes.
