I've looked through the guides, and they say that if I do the squirrel cave sidequest to get the firesticks, then I won't be able to do some of the other sidequests. So just how vital are the firesticks? Are they even worth getting?

Forgot to add: Is it possible to do the sidequests that I wouldn't be able to do if I do the squirrel cave sidequest. Then when they're done, go to the squirrel cave and do that sidequest?

The dynamite you get from the squirrels can be used on the cracks on the walls. Inside the walls you may find treasure. But you won't find anything you can't buy a better option in later towns.

No, if you go finish the other side quests, then you can't go back to the squirrel's to finish their quest. You must choose which quest you want to finish.
