True Utility FireStash Petrol Lighter

The True Utility FireStash is a miniature petrol keychain lighter whose main selling point is a waterproof body sealed with neoprene O-rings. Unlike ordinary lighters, it shrugs off getting soaked in a pack, in sweat, or in rain — it will still open and light after being submerged, making it a dependable backup where matches or cheaper gas lighters fail. At just 45 mm long and 27 g, it fits into any first aid pouch or emergency kit pocket without adding noticeable weight. It runs on petrol, so it can be refilled and used for years rather than discarded like a disposable gas lighter. This is squarely a backup tool — the primary fire-starting method on a hike is typically a full-size lighter or ferro rod, and the FireStash serves as insurance for when the main source fails or gets wet. Its small size means it can stay permanently clipped to your keys or pack strap, always within reach.
