So Apparently The Permanent Match Exists, and We’re Not Sure Why We Still Use Lighters

* Long lasting, all weather fire starting
* Great for emergency safety
* Like a match, but reusable

Apparently there’s such a thing as a permanent match, and it has nothing to do with the Tinder app. Rather, it’s a tool for lighting barbecues, campfires, gas grilles and more. Great for emergencies, the permanent match is weatherproof and more durable than a regular cigarette lighter or a box of paper matches. The permanent match makes an easy, practical addition to your outdoor adventure gear or everyday carry bag and is a great alternative to the classic Zippo lighter.

3. Fire Starter

While, as Bruce Springstein sings, “you can’t start a fire without a spark,” may not be entirely true – provided you have a laser or a large parabolic mirror and plenty of sun, it is surely, in fact, much easier to start a fire with a spark, than without one. That’s where this ferrocerium-rod fire starter comes in. Great for camping or emergencies.
