6 Easiest Fire Starters For Backpacking and Camping

4. The Windmill Trekker Stormproof Lighter

This fire starter is a little bit different than others on the list. As the name gives it away, it is basically a lighter that requires a fill of butane to operate. The fun thing about this lighter is that you can start a fire even in winds up to 80 miles per hour, also this lighter is rain proof. You can also operate this lighter with just one hand as like any lighter. I think the extra hassle to fill it up with butane is worth it, if you are planning a trek somewhere very stormy and windy.  Be sure to pack extra s’mores to insulate yourself!
