Indispensable in the outdoor sector: the lighter

In many situations a lighter plays a crucial role – provided it is suitable for outdoor use. The following notes from ASMC make it easier to choose the ideal “fire starter”.

Safety comes first

To ensure that lighting your field stove or campfire does not result in a fire accident or damage to fields, forests and countryside, you must pay attention to proper handling and any restrictions on where you are allowed to use it (if applicable). Tip: If you carry your lighter in a tightly sealable plastic pouch, you can still use it in damp or wet environments, for example in regions with rainy seasons. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that the spark will actually work.

Storm lighters are the right tool even in adverse outdoor conditions

The classic among storm lighters is the legendary Zippo. This is a petrol lighter with a flint whose flame does not go out in light to moderate wind. The foam inside absorbs the fuel, and capillary action ensures that the fuel is drawn up through the wick. To allow refilling on the go, there is the Zippo Power Kit with fuel tank and spare flint, including a tool for installation.

Hot-spot or jet-flame lighters can be ignited even in stormy conditions. These are special gas lighters. However, they cannot be used at very low temperatures.
Particularly practical is the Fox Outdoor multifunction gas lighter, which combines a lighter with a knife, corkscrew and bottle opener.

Expert tip: Swedish steel – one of the best ways to make fire

Because the Swedish army was looking for a method back then to make fire in any weather and with as few tools as possible, the so-called Swedish steel or carbon steel was “improved”. You can’t really say “invented”, because this type of fire making already existed back in Roman times. Since matches are obviously out of the question when conditions are poor or they simply break too easily, a different approach had to be established. Resourceful developers then created an alloy that produces sparks when quickly scraped or struck. You can use sharp-edged metals or stones for this, which keeps the required materials you need to carry to a minimum. Another advantage is that it can be made to work at any altitude, including on high mountain tours. Ideally, such a tool can be carried on your gear as a keychain.

Questions: Lighters

How do the lighters in the range differ from normal lighters?

Apart from the camouflage‑pattern lighter, which is basically a normal lighter with a camo look, all our “fire starters” are specially designed for outdoor use. Here, fuel is usually petrol instead of lighter gas. It is considered more windproof and more reliable.

Special features also ensure water resistance (not on all models), and of course we also have classic Zippos in our range.

Petrol or gas – what’s the difference?

Petrol lighters are considered all-weather lighters, whereas standard (butane) gas lighters are better known as disposable flame sources. You can buy both variants in our shop. The gas versions work without a wick, while the petrol ones use a wick. They draw the fuel upwards by capillary action, where it is mixed with oxygen as an oxidizer and burned. A petrol lighter generally has a more “steady” and voluminous flame than its butane counterparts. In addition, it naturally smells a bit of lighter fluid, whereas butane gas is almost odorless or at least not intrusive.
