The Dark Energy Plasma Lighter is the one tool that covers fire-starting and emergency signaling without adding a second item to the kit. The dual-arc plasma beam fires in wind and wet conditions where a flame-based lighter fails, and USB recharging means no disposable fuel canisters to track or replace.
