Right. Good thinking.I guess sometimes we can neglect/forget to state what seems obvious. Lighters of course should be a part of your fire starting redundancy tools kit (a good butane windproof one has always been handy for me on my campouts), but I think the idea of a "bugout bag" though is that you may never be able to return, and as such you'll only have what's in your bag. So use your unlimited sources like a fire piston or bow as much as you can before you ever break into the lighters. In a survival situaution, there may be times when you need to make a fire in an extreme hurry, so the longer you can save that lighter fuel, the better.
I thought of another really useful gadget I didn't see anywhere here yet.
No battery no bulb renewable energy flashlites. I've had
this one for a couple years and it still works everytime I shake it.
