[QUOTE="jmden, post: 421821, member: 1742"] I carry two lighters as well (one in the cookset and one of the 'stormproof' versions with me at all times - [url=http://www.rei.com/product/783683]Windmill Delta Stormproof Lighter at REI.com[/url] - all they are is a glorified version that uses the pressurized butane--I took bulky cover off of mine as I don't like any unecessary weight or bulk). But they both have their pitfalls. If either one gets too wet, they won't work well or at all, so I always carry backup 'stormproof' matches in a watertight match container. [url=http://www.rei.com/product/678278]Coghlan's Plastic Matchbox at REI.com[/url] and [url=http://www.rei.com/product/617046]REI Storm Proof Matches at REI.com[/url] . I'm usually hunting overnight by myself for several days at a time and have a young family, so you might start to see why I think the way I do. Better to be prepared. I also carry a GPS enabled PLB registered to me for the above reason and absolutely do NOT want to have to call for help especially due to my own poor juedgement--I see enough of that on my job as it is. But, invariably, we all get stupid at some point as, for some reason, good judgement breaks down,and hopefully a couple of these items will keep me from having to worry anybody else when/if that happens.
