I put a tied-off balloon end (the end you blow into) over my bic mini when backpacking. Waterproof and weighs a quarter of what the peanut weighs. I also carry at least two minis. Cheapest wilderness insurance ever.

@OriginalMrsniffles County Comm (for whatever reason, YouTube won’t let me post the link) sells them

Yes but the fuel in the peanut lighters evaporates fast. When the bic dries it will still work. Overall bic wins for me.

Does the split pea or peanut manage to stop the fuel making whatever you light taste of fuel - like zippo does with that fuel? That kind of lighter is the most reliable lighter on earth, no doubt, but its fuel SUCKS for making your smoke taste bad. Probably good to take both so you can use the pea to light the clean butane lighter if it gets wet - split pea + mini bic = small combo
Jet lighters are phenomenally unreliable as are most piezoelectronic ignition lighters. Flint & wheel FTW.

What a dumb comparison. Of course the peanut lighter won't get wet with the lid on. Either take the lid off the peanut lighter and expose it to the water like the others or wrap the others in a baggie or balloon like I do. I guarantee it will fare worse than a Bic. I don't like those electric lighters so I won't even comment on those.
lephotography knows what he's talking about.
It's a gimmick lighter that I would NOT trust in a survival situation.

@OriginalMrsniffles We usually have them in stock, but we are out of them right now.

I always assumed those "jet lighters" were the best type of camping/survival lighters, but never thought of what would happen if they got wet! Just as susceptible as matches I guess.

Those are still a good idea, if they are the ones that are waterproofed, although I prefer the simplicity of the peanut lighter. The peanut lighter is definitely not windproof though. I tend to stay away from the top of Mt. Washington, so wind has not been an issue for me so far. :)
