This might be overkill, but I usually carry:
-Spark Lite & Tinder Quik.
-2 lighters (henceforth and hereafter, Bic brand)
-Regular every day matches.
-Life boat matches

and sometimes
-Swedish fire steel (Primus brand)

I won't be carrying anything with a piezo ignition system above 7000'.

Countycomm has peanut lighters...

The stainless version is fine, but now they need a titanium version

My wind-resistant, no-hold-the-lever-down, pocket flare--a 40 year old Ronson Varaflame Windlite Atomic:

I just repaired my old Zippo and plan to throw it into the mix. It's certainly more windproof than anything else I currently carry.

If only I could keep it from drying out.

Wow sotto, I'd worry about burning my eyebrows off with that thing!

Sotto--thats more like it--wet,cold and numb with a pile of
whatever you could pull together in a minute,thats what i would
want and not a match--of any kind--or something that was made to light a cigarette--indoors...

Sotto--i was just looking at these on Ebay--i assume fuel
still avalable for an old lighter like this==looks like your
burning up alot in that photo

Canoedogs:

Yup. This is just a refillable butane lighter. When I bought mine, it needed a little seal work, and I found a guy on the Web who works on them (Glendale, CA or North Hollywood as I recall). Shortly, it was back and in this kind of working order. The flame adjustment wheel really works! I haven't burned it this way for more than a few seconds at a stretch, for obvious reasons. Interestingly, the lighter itself doesn't seem to get very warm with the flame adusted this high.

Here's another shot of my Ronson Varaflame Windlite:

Sotto--i just bought one on Ebay--it's going into my overboard
vest--if i ever have to use it i'll get what i've been looking for--a BIG HONKING FLAME--no tiny match or Bic stuff--even if i just get one blast out of it thats all i would
need to get a life saving fire going--great exchange of info
on this site--thanks......now if i can just find empty Spam
