Two is one, one is none, so I guess three is two. I carry a disposable, a spark rod, and some mongo hurricane matches and tinder in my pack. I like Zippos, but since I don’t smoke, I always let them dry out on me. Lighter fluid has become a specialty item around here; grocery stores don’t have it, or maybe they hide it.
Those big windproof matches are amazing. You really can poke a lit one in the snow and have it come back out burning like Hell. They do require a striker, but come with several.
