Radlight Survival Lighter

Lighters are one of those objects that feel universally designed until conditions get bad enough that they stop working. The Radlight was built by an engineer determined to make one that could withstand the harsh conditions he faced on his wilderness trips. He solved the reliability issues with a sealed fuel system, a double flint supply for over 3,000 ignitions, and a horizontal flame that holds in wind. IP68 waterproof rating keeps fuel in and water out, enlarged controls work with gloves on, and the tank holds 30% more fuel than a standard lighter, igniting down to -40°F. The winner of a 2026 Outdoor Innovation Award, it costs less than most people spend on a weekend of camping, but might save your trip.
