I have used this method when its windy outside and I have a regular lighter, I will cover the flames with my hands or jacket and since the flame goes straight up and the pipe upside down it will do the work, or when its raining out side I smoke my pipe upside down.
Seriously people, have none of you studied physics? As far as wind goes there is absolutely no difference whether the bowl is up or down, the wind going by will create the same low pressure inside the chamber which draws the ash out. They make wind caps for pipes which cover the bowl save for a few small holes, which prevent that phenomenon from happening.
And if you can't forego smoking whilst walking in the rain, then pipesmoking is not a habit it's an addiction. Plus you would need to walk very gingerly to avoid knocking the ashes out...and as we all know, "real" pipesmokers know it's important to leave the ash
