Lighters and matches belong in every outdoor kit. With them you make fire quickly and surely, for heat, light or a hot meal. That matters at the campsite, during bushcraft and especially in an emergency. That is why this is a small buy with great value. After all, without fire there is no coffee, no warm tent and no light in the dark.
Lighters and matches: which to choose
A lighter gives a flame right away and often lasts a long time, because you can refill it. Matches are simple and light, so you can easily take a box along. Many outdoor types can handle water or wind. As a result, they work even when it is wet or windy. Ideally, take both, so you always have a backup.
The product in this collection
Here you will find the Atomic petrol lighter. It runs on petrol and you can use it again and again. Such a lighter fits in your trouser pocket, so you always have it with you. Do you want another way to make fire? Then also look at fire steel and firestarters, because they work even when your lighter is empty.
What to look for
First check the weather at your destination. Does it rain or blow a lot? Then choose a type that can handle that. Next, think about fuel: you refill a petrol lighter, while matches run out. Keep matches dry, for example in a closed box. A fire steel also makes a good backup, because it works without fuel. Finally, always bring a backup, since making fire has to work.
In short: lighters and matches are small, light and essential. Take a look at the range below.
