Abstract: A lighter comprises a container that is configured to hold a liquid fuel, a cap attachable to a top portion of the container, a fuel cap attachable to a bottom portion of the container, a first watertight seal formed by a first sealing element between the cap and the container, and a second watertight seal formed by a second sealing element between the fuel cap and the container.

Abstract: A fire starter may include a fire starting mechanism comprising a friction wheel, an axle, a flint, a spring, and a screw. The fire starter also may include a housing and a capsule with a storage compartment therein. The capsule may be attachable to the main housing. The axle may pass through the friction wheel and be screwed or pressed into the housing. Ignition may be created by the spring pressing the flint into the friction wheel, with the screw holding the spring and flint in place such that when the friction wheel is rotated, a spark is generated. The friction wheel may be attached to the housing by the axle at to a single connection point, and the housing may be attached to a tinder removal device, which may be positionable within the storage compartment of the capsule when the housing and the capsule are attached together.

Abstract: A case for a lighter including a removable cap and elongated body sleeve is described herein. Placing the cap on the elongated body sleeve creates a waterproof seal that protects the components of the lighter inside of the case and prevents exposure of the lighter to moisture that may damage components or prevent proper functioning of the lighter. The case can prevent inadvertent activation of the gas button and can also provide a gas lock strap for selectively activating and maintaining activation of the gas button. The case and cap can include features for increasing grip on the lighter as well as removably coupling the case to a lanyard, key ring, or other means of retention.
