Lighters for Survival
Dual Arc Plasma Lighter
Meet the Dual Arc Plasma Lighter: your durable, eco-friendly fire starter. It’s windproof, waterproof, and recharges via USB, making it a reliable companion for any adventure. With a weight of under 2 ounces and the ability to light over 100 fires per single charge, it’s an essential tool for survival. Charge it quickly in just 2 hours. Use it to easily ignite anything from campfires to grills with a simple button press. Plus, its compact design ensures it’s a breeze to carry wherever you go.
The SOL Dual Arc Plasma Lighter is your go-to gadget when you’re out in the wilderness and need to start a fire quickly. This lighter is ready for action sooner than expected after surpassing its advertised charging speed. In my field tests, I used it to ignite various natural tinders, such as poplar bark and shavings from poplar wood. I experimented with finely processed poplar bark and some thick strips, creating a dense mound of coarse shavings and delicate feather sticks from a poplar branch.
The lighter’s performance was impressive across all materials. The dual arc contact point quickly lit the fine feather sticks, shavings, and both types of bark. It even managed to ignite the more challenging blunt birch bark corners and the denser poplar bark strips. The SOL Dual Arc Plasma Lighter is a reliable and powerful tool for igniting fires with various materials.

UCO ARC LIGHTER & LED FLASHLIGHT
UCO Gear has been part of the outdoors, camping, and recreational gear for decades. From survival to cooking gear, UCO wears many masks.
The UCO Arc Lighter & LED Flashlight is a versatile tool that combines a powerful electric arc lighter with a bright LED flashlight. It’s designed to provide reliable ignition in windy or wet conditions, making it perfect for outdoor lovers, campers, and survivalists. The built-in rechargeable battery ensures long-term use, and the compact design makes it easy to carry and use whenever needed.
Upon initial inspection, this innovative device impresses as a sleek, rechargeable LED flashlight delivering intense brightness. A secure, spring-activated bezel twist reveals an integrated dual-arc plasma lighter.
Combining two devices in one, the Arc Lighter & Flashlight boasts a 100-lumen beam with high, low, and emergency strobe settings. The device is powered by a 340mAh internal lithium-ion battery, which you can recharge via mini-USB. The battery also energizes the dual-arc plasma lighter.
The Arc Lighter distinguishes itself from conventional lighters by using electricity for ignition, channeling an electric current across electrodes at its tip to produce a 1400-degree flameless heat, assuring reliable, wind-resistant lighting.
A single power button smoothly operates both the flashlight and plasma lighter. The flashlight mode allows scrolling through high, low, and strobe settings, while the lighter mode is triggered by holding down the button. The Arc’s design includes a spring-loaded lid for ease of use and a locking bail to prevent accidental opening in transit.
MSRP: $26.99
