Lighters and fire starters are what you need as soon as you want a fire outdoors. Whether you camp, do bushcraft or put together an emergency kit: without fire you won't get far. That is why this collection has everything to make a flame. It runs from a simple lighter to a fire steel that also works in the rain. All products are small and light, so they fit in any jacket pocket or backpack.
Which lighters and fire starters are there?
First, the classics: lighters and matches. They are quick and simple, so ideal for every day. Matches are light and cheap, but they must stay dry. In addition, there are fire starters such as firesteels and magnesium sticks. These also work when it is wet or windy, because they give sparks instead of a flame. So you always have a way to make fire, even in bad weather.
How to choose the right fire starter
For a day trip, a lighter is enough. On a long trek, also bring a fire steel, because it lasts long and never runs empty. Keep matches dry in a small bag, so they keep working. You refill a petrol lighter yourself, so it lasts for years. Ideally, take two types, because then you always have a backup. Besides, most fire starters have a sturdy build, so they last a long time.
