"Can't blow 'em out" trick birthday candles for the windproof needs. I've never had to actually use those birthday candles, but that's my windproof plan (hope it works!)
I have considered using those in my kits in the past, although if I recall correctly they need to burn for 10-15 seconds or more before they actually develop enough heat to relight themselves. If this is indeed the case, the benefit (in strong winds) is essentially negated.
Based on this thread, I'm seriously thinking about picking up a Brunton Helios tomorrow, but I'm really going to be pissed at myself for wasting the money (they're not ceap) if it turns out to be like all the other refillables I've owned in the past.
