No. Absolutely and utterly, NO.

Matches DO have the just about the worst light per mass/volume ratio out there, no doubt about it. But they don't freeze up like lighters (ANY lighter) that isn't in your pocket will.

Likewise flame-based ignition systems, either matches or lighters, don't touch the much touted thousands of lights on even a smallish ferro rod. But spark based ignition needs two things- dry tinder, and somewhat fluffy tinder. That rules out candles, anything waxed or shellaced, and natural tinder that is damp.

Everything in the arsenal has a role. Run the ferro rod when you can, the lighter when needed, matches when you must, flares when nothing else will do. And if you have no other choice, follow Heinlein's advice- rub two Boy Scouts together.
