Everything you need to start a fire and stay safe on the trail, all in one place. This category features SOL fire starting and fire safety essentials, including all-weather matches, a fuel-free lighter, fire starting fuel cubes, a compact fire shovel, and an emergency fire blanket. Lightweight, dependable, and built for the outdoors.
When you are miles from the trailhead, a reliable flame is one of the most important things you can carry. Our Fire Starters and Extinguishers category brings together SOL fire starting and fire safety essentials designed to help hikers, backpackers, and campers spark a fire quickly and handle it responsibly from start to finish.
For getting a flame going, the SOL All-Weather Matches are built to light in wind, rain, and damp conditions when ordinary matches would fail. The SOL Fire Lite Fuel-Free Lighter offers a rechargeable, flameless way to ignite tinder without messy fuel, so you always have a spark ready. And the SOL Fire Lite Fuel Cubes give you fast, long-burning tinder that catches easily even when your surroundings are wet, taking the guesswork out of building a campfire or lighting a backpacking stove.
Staying safe around your fire matters just as much as starting it. The SOL Stoke Shovel is a compact, packable tool for managing coals, clearing a fire site, and helping put out your fire responsibly before you leave camp. The SOL Emergency Fire Blanket adds another layer of protection, giving you a quick way to smother flames and help shield against heat in an emergency.
Every product in this category is chosen with the outdoors in mind, prioritizing light weight, small pack size, and dependable performance in tough conditions. Whether you are setting out for a weekend trip or a longer trek, these SOL essentials help you start your fire with confidence and leave no trace behind.
Always follow local fire regulations, keep your fire small and contained, and make sure every flame is fully out before you move on. Browse the selection to find the fire starting and safety tools that fit your pack and your next adventure.
