Wilderness EDC Semper Paratus
PDW has been creating expertly made goods for Wilderness (and Urban) EDC since our founding. It is inherent to our brand DNA. Our ongoing mission is to design and produce, exceptionally useful, versatile and durable tools to be used everyday and/or be at the ready when called upon. This rugged, small yet capable fire starter can easily be a part of any user’s essential EDC, especially for those who enjoy time in the wilderness and backcountry. A small, pocketable, personal fire starter or lighter, that uses lighter fluid has been a staple part of an individual’s field kit since the ones issued or privately purchased during WWI. Most anyone understands the fundamental importance of starting a fire when in the field and in a wilderness survival scenario. While we are also strong proponents of being proficient in starting fires with other methods and/or tools such as the ferro rod to drill bow, having an easily accessible, reliable and durable lighter is indispensable and much more expedient in starting a life saving fire (or even if just to make all important s'mores).
Core Essentials
Our AL-FS is designed as a simple and reliable fire starter for camp and survival. Using refillable, classic lighter fluid, white gas, or even jet fuel; this device ignites via the sparking "flint" wheel. Precision milling with modern CNC and silicone o-ring constructions ensures tighter tolerances for longer storage life and features a tried and true industrial knurled surface to facilitate positive contact when opening and closing.
Carefully Considered
At PDW we appreciate the details in good product design. The AL-FS comes packed in a presentation metal gift "tin" and also includes an accessory kit that contains an extra wick and flints.

Small enough to be a zipper pull as mentioned in another review, but absolutely functional. I filled it when I got it and have kept it in my pocket every day as an edc just to test it. No leaks, the fluid hasn’t evaporated as it would have in your Zippo. Construction and design are top notch.
