After reading that Royal Marines survival book I decided to copy one of the things I had seen in in it, just a didposable lighter on a para cord necklace, as it seamed a good idea. So I cut a lenght of Hootchie cord and dug out some nice bright electrical tape and had a riffle through the box I keep all my outdoorsey combustables in. There must have been 20 lighters in there and after seperating out all the nearly empty ones I tried the rest to see which worked most reliably. Much to my disgust most where utterly crap and in the end I dug out the one I keep with my soldering gear, made by SAMCO which I know works well.
Now being a "bit" of a gear queen I like to get the best kit I can, especially if it doesn't cost me much so who does the most reliable, least flimsy cheepo gas lighters? ideally for under a quid?
Cheers!

PS I did make sure that the tape would break/come off before I would choke on it I hasten to add.
