Punk is simply partially rotted wood, just soft enough to break apart with
your hands.  If you find a partially rotted log, you'll often find a shell
of harder, less rotted material on the outside, and softer, "punkier"
material inside.  I like to collect a mix of it, since the damper, softer
stuff helps hold the fire, as do some of the harder outer portions, like
knots, which rot slower.

If it's too damp to light, simply spread it in the sun for a half hour or
so, and then put it in a bucket.  It only takes minutes to fill a five
gallon bucket, and it's a good reason to take a walk in the woods.

Happy Punking.

Todd.
