I pack a small Bic -- but I usually start fires with a ferro steel striker with cottonballs smeared with vaseline. That will get a fire going in even the worst conditions and I find it far more reliable than the Bic. Not a knock on the little lighter, but wet fingers can cause them to crap out.
Surprised it took this long for someone to point that out. Wet thumb = dead Bic. Take it from a ski bum who's had occasion to light things on the mountain.
That said, I carry a couple mini-Bic's, and a small firemaking kit in a ziplock that has a couple resin sticks and a small box of waterproof matches. I got that from the Department of Redundancy Department.
