I like the permanent matches. Had some many many years ago and was pleasantly surprised to find them readily available locally again last year. They take a few moments to learn to use and then it's trivial. Cohglan's packages one with a box of waxy cotton "tinder" but oddly enough do not mention the use of the device as a match - not one mention of lighter fluid.

They are more than waterproof enough for personal immersion in glacial run-off. They are no more wind-resistant than a paper match is, but cupping the flame long enough to ignite something in windy conditions is an easily aquired skill. Not a one-hand-in-the-wind device, but a useful small device in my experience.
