Someone who wants a fire starter that will work in all the conditions where lighters won't?

I rarely carry a lighter - moving parts can break, it can leak fluid, and it's easy enough to use other fire starting methods that it's not really needed.

What I do carry is a tube of waterproof matches, a magnesium firestarter, and usually another, larger fire steel. The matches get used for convenience, but the magnesium and firesteel get used a lot, simply so I stay in practice with them. If I get stranded far from civilization, your lighter will get used up a lot faster than my firesteel.
