Reliable firelighting in the harshest conditions
Getting a campfire going in after a long day on the trail is one of life’s great pleasures. Whether you spark one up to make a meal, boil water or to simply cosy up against, there’s no better way to revitalise the mood and get you pumped for another day in the great outdoors. Which is why we think it’s a good idea to pack a reliable means to get one going, such as this handy little lighter from Dark Energy.

These days, your phone is much more than just a tool for communicating with the outside world. It’s your map and compass, your pocket torch, and your means to finance a quick resupply — all at the same time. In fact, it could be argued that it's the singular item that can make or break your adventure more than any other, especially if you’re out of battery the moment you need it. Which is something that the folks at Dark Energy are acutely aware of. As long-distance backcountry adventurers, they often spend days at a time in their native Wasatch Mountains, hiking dozens of miles over harsh terrain in Utah’s unforgiving climate. And they rely on their phones to keep them on track, safe, and connected to the outside world.
Knowing all too well the pitfalls of lesser power products, Dark Energy has made it its mission to create hyper-rugged charging solutions you can rely on in the wild. And since 2013, they have become a brand trusted, used and abused by everyone from hikers, campers and emergency workers to the US special forces — all due to the outstanding quality of their kit.
