Thanks for all the replies! I'm glad I started this thread because it seems most "heavy duty" lighters out there deliver less than they promise.
So I guess the right quesiton would be, is there any reasonably priced lighter sturdy and reliable enough that you could actually depend on in the wilderness?
I always carry backups to critical systems, ie dependable matches to lighter, compass to GPS, water tablets to filter, etc. That being said, I would trust my original Blazer as a primary.
