^^^^ Nice looking lighter that can attach to a propane bottle for RVing but not so much for certain types of tenting:).
I've gone through several types of lighters and matches and gosh some of those childproof versions give my thumb a callous.
These are what I'm happiest using nowadays:
Zippo
The flexi head fits nicely in chimney starters or to light paper in a fire pit. It's re-fillable and although child proof not as hard to maneuver with one hand as some of the other versions. Easy to view window so you know when to recharge.
and
UCO stormproof matches. The striker is kind of weak on the cheapest version but spend a dollar or 3 more and you'll think you have old fashioned kitchen matches, LOL.
