kyboonefan,

I was at a Rite-Aid pharmacy today and found my first Cricket lighter ($1.97). It does seem to be of higher quality than a bic lighter. I like the built in lock too.

I've had bic lighters leak in emergency kits before. I started wrapping a rubber band around the lighter just below the fuel switch. It works great, but has to be removed before use.

I'd like to see a mini version of the Cricket like the mini bics.

There was also a 3 pack of cricket lighters for around $5. I was in a bit of a rush, but it looked like 2 butane lighters with a standard lighter fluid and flint type.

Hope that helps. TR
