I don't like to EDC a lighter or matches as they are fragile and quite working after being attached to my key ring after awhile. The fire steel always works.
I leave matches behind, Strike anywhere don't anymore.
For backcountry I bring a bic along with the fire steel and plenty of long burn tinder.
