Anyone have a suggestion regarding a bomb-proof lighter to carry in a bail out bag - or in a PFD? Would like something for normal camp use - but also to make sure I can make fire if absolutely needed. Obviously the old reliables like flint/steel and fire goo are the best backup. I was wondering about the two models by Brunton: http://www.brunton.com/catalog.php?item_id=34&subcategory_id=44&category_id=3&old_item_id=34&old_subcategory_id=44&old_category_id=3 http://www.brunton.com/catalog.php?item_id=248&subcategory_id=44&category_id=3&old_item_id=248&old_subcategory_id=44&old_category_id=3 (Sorry for the long URLs - hopefully you won't have to cut-n-paste them) The one with the LED light (2nd one) looks like a neat little package - but not sure if these units will stand up to this kind of abuse and possible immersion. What are others carrying in their PFDs for fire starters?
