There are times when you NEED to get a fire started. A true lighter with a flame can be invaluable. Enter the titanLIGHT by Exotac. A lighter made in the USA of machined aluminum with two O-Ring seals, making it waterproof to 1 meter. The seals also ensure that the fuel doesn't evaporate out when not in use.
You can find the titanLIGHT directly through Exotac: www.exotac.com/titanlight/
As well as on Amazon: amzn.to/34RQ80A

Basically this should be on your emergency kit.
Nice setup. I like multiple redundancy: survival matches, lighter, ferrorod, and wetfire fuel cubes...
But this works as well! Key is probably to just make sure you've thought about it and have something...
Keep up the good work!
Absolutely, 2 is 1... :)
"...Are there any shortcomings with the TitanLighter? ...Maybe some considerations...if you're wearing skinny jeans, it may or may not fit in your front pocket."
Best use for skinny jeans: char cloth!
Great advise, thank you.
Like your perspective on fire starting 🔥. Haven't thought about it that way.
Practical. :)
Awesome lighter.
Very similar design to TiSurvival's Exo Tube lighters (interesting that the name is similar). Mine was pretty pricey, but one of a kind at the time. But the end-user serviceability is well worth it, and it's super durable. I think it would withstand quite a bit of punishment.
Yep, well made stuff tends to be up there in price.
Bought one in orange, I would suggest to buy beeswax candletin also, it's a surefire way to get a fire started,
I feel like having the ferro rod as a back up to your main is not a bad idea, but never your only.
Nice video! Good luck!
Thanks!
Great review. It’s good to have someone testing high end stuff like this and I appreciate you distinguishing between “playing frontiersman in the woods.” vs common sense preparations.
If I spent much time above 8000’ I might have to consider this, but Amazon has FIFTY mini Bic lighters for $38 and this for $47. I would consider it at $15 and would definitely buy one if it was under $10.
Being prepared doesn’t have to mean being broke.
I'm with you, there are solutions at every price point. But Bic lighters aren't machined from aluminum in the US either... :)
Plus it would pay for itself within a year or so. This thing will last for decades
@@KitBadger I just got mine today. Along with the nanospark. I have multiple Exotac products and their outstanding
Couldn't agree more on the comment that Zippos are largely nostalgia factor. I have one that sits in a drawer and makes a great paperweight. I'll put Ka-Bar USMC knives in the same category. ;-)
Exotac makes excellent products - I've been using their ferro rods, firesleeves and Matchcaps for years, and recently got a ripSpool, which is a super handy piece of kit. Agreed also on the realistic usefulness of ferro rods - fun to play around with, maybe have as a backup, but not what I want to be relying on in a real emergency. I've been curious about the Titanlight for some time now, so thanks for the review. Exotac quality combined with a sealed, refillable lighter that doesn't evaporate fluid seems like a no-brainer.
Hahaha, yep Ka-Bar knives are one of the most impractical knives out there. :)
Potasium permanginate and glycerine. Works like a charm.
I may have to look into this Exotac. I mean, after our talk, I realized that I always carry a flashlight, but never a lighter. As a sort of EDC gear/gear in general whore, I'm always looking for something neat, yet functional that can fit in with the rest of the stuff I carry.
A Mini Bic is a good place to start. :)
GDA starts survival fires by putting tinder under his armpit and doing chest to deck pushups until the friction lights it.

I know this video may be old but what jacket are you wearing???
i have an old ronson. works like a zippo but has a clear body and a button to release the fluid to the wick area so it is sealed. not near as sturdy as the ex so i might need one of those.
I've been pretty impressed with this one. They are robust.
Haha thx for the review! I have one on the way via the north pole. take care bud..
Very cool, they are great lighters!
I used my zippo when it was too cold for a butane lighter, it was great until I dropped it in the snow and got it wet
Hahaha, lots of things work great until dropped into the snow. :)
The TitanLight's only real weakness is that it is easily overfilled
Not if you read and follow directions. But, there is no law that says you can't turn it upside down, open, wipe hands and lighter off, a and strike, put lid back on after putting the fuel back in. ..its common sense and lighter fluid is $70 a gallon. So the lighter will pay for itself.way in advance of that😂
How does it do at altitude? In super wet environments?
Good.
Nish!
Looks like a very cool piece of kit …… BUT …… is it GDA approved ??
GDA uses Flamethrowers... Exclusively.
@@KitBadger … I like flamethrowers. They leave a lasting impression.
That climate is exactly why I live in Texas lol
Hahaha, you can have that humidity. :)
@@KitBadger Mmmmmmmmm.... sweet sweet 70* weather in December lol
@@Johnny_Cash_Flow I'll take all 4 seasons. :)
@timmybmn hahaha, winter is pretty mild up here with it still being winter. :)
@@KitBadger We had a 4 Seasons, but now it's a Marriott.

I'd throw some spare Flint's in the intertubing.
Solid plan.
You could run some fire cord or a fire cord pull cord from Exotac on the outside of the lighter to
what happens if you fart while its lit? can you show me a test vid? i am very intrested
Short answer: No.
not so much
@@KitBadger thank you for the consideration
I carry a flaming torch with me at all times, next level.
Bold move, I like it.
Some reviews say this lighters are a pile of junk😢
If you are wring skinny jeans, maybe that is the problem.
#truth
Why does everything you have, have to be so expensive? 45 dollars for a lighter. Jeez
Hahaha, because Bic doesn't send me lighters to review. :)
