Little Charley's firestarting kit
Plural: Little Charley's firestarting kits
This darling little box contains everything you'd need to start a fire in the wilderness, if you didn't have heat vision. (What? Nobody told you about the heat vision?)
Anyway, you could probably give it to your sidekick in case they ever needed to start a fire.

Subsequent times:
