Kindling material — remote rural areas (6)

I believe the answer is:

sticks

(Other definitions for sticks that I've seen before include "Refuses to move" , "Twigs or thin branches of a tree" , "Adheres" , "Small pieces of wood" , "potentially breaking our bones?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
