I think masonary nail is galvanized? If so use it and a penny, insert both in a citrus fruit or potato and make a voltaic cell. Enough to "glow " a torch bulb whose element you could use to make fire if glass bulb removed and suitable tinder to hand. Wow that was long winded, just use your zippo.lol
