Bug out bags are always great to have around whether you're an avid lover of the outdoors or not. Emergencies can happen anywhere at any time and it's always better to be prepared with some emergencies supplies than to be left unprepared. There are many items that can be included in a bug out bag for various purposes, but one of the items that is necessary in every bug out bag is a good flashlight. It can be difficult to know which flashlight to buy for your bug out bag, but there are a few simple methods of figuring it out.
Purpose
This one may seem odd as a flashlight's purpose is very obvious, but there are other purposes that a survival flashlight can have. For instance, some flashlights can be used as a billy club, taser or blinding light as a means of self-defense against animals or other people. If you already have a reliable weapon such as a gun, machete or knife, you may not need a flashlight that acts in this way. However, they're still good to have as you can never have too many means of protection.
Weight and Size
One problem that many people have when trying to figure out what to put in their bug out bag is dealing with the weight. Even small bags can be extremely heavy when they're filled with survival gear, but large bug out bags that become overly heavy can be far too difficult to carry and may even rip due to the weight.
Another issue that is especially prominent in small bug out bags is the issue of space. A bug out bag is not very useful if a few large items are eating up all of the space. The key to dealing with this isn't putting in fewer items, it's getting smaller items that work just as well. Many people choose to buy small flashlights that fit easily in the palm of your hand such as mini-flashlights...

Conclusion
When looking for a flashlight for your bug out bag, the one that is the best choice is really determined by the ultimate purpose of the flashlight and the main application of the bug out bag. The most important factors to keep in mind are quality, brightness, battery life and durability. No matter if it's a small light for a bug out bag that you keep in your car or a large tactical flashlight for a large bug out bag meant for intense survival situations and outdoor use, those four factors should be the main aspects to keep in mind for any bug out bag flashlight.
Other igniters exist but are not recommended as highly as the charcoal grill sparker. The Colmen lantern spin lighter which use a flint and striker can become gummed up with some fuels and is not recommended for use in spud guns which will use hairspray as a primary fuel. This lighter must have new flints installed when they run out. This type of lighter also will fail to function when wet with fuel. The flame style barbecue lighter is a click lighter that produces a small-sustained flame. This lighter rarely misfires but is very hard to install given the high pressures it would be subjected to. Also the fuel in the lighter it self must be refilled. Some Spud Guns use a spark plug and battery setup that involves more work as well as more components. The benefits of this style of ignition system is that you have the ability to remote detonate the fuel from a safe distance. By far the push button charcoal grill sparker is the recommended igniter. It is cheap, effective, relatively easy to install and long lasting.

The next reason pilots should be armed is because it creates a sense of safety for the passengers. When the pilot is armed the passengers will be more relaxed and not afraid of a terrorist attack. In the article “In War, Law Is Silent” O’Brien said:

The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines the word "weight" as "a mass or quantity of something taken up and carried, conveyed, or transported." Tim O'Brien's war story The Things They Carried, published in 1990, explores the theme of weight and its importance to men at war in considerable depth. The opening chapter of this book, which was originally written as a short story, is comprised of a collection of lists. O'Brien details for his reader both the physical objects, such as cigarettes, C rations, and packets of Kool-Aid, and the more intangible things, such as fear and silent awe, that weigh these soldiers down. With the amount of space that the author gives to enumerating the weight of these objects, one might assume that these objects are what are really important to these soldiers, but in reality it is the incalculable weight of their spiritual burdens that truly weigh them down.

People will light up the candles and then leave them to burn for hours. People should not burn candles more than 2-3 hours at a time. “Candles caused 3% of reported home fires, 3% home fire deaths, 6% of home fire injuries, and 5% of the direct property damage in home fires” (nfpa.org). Many people light candles for many reasons, such as a birthday celebration, a romantic dinner or just to relax and enjoy the smell. However, some people do not pay attention to the candles after being lit. “On average, 25 home candle fires are reported per day. More than half of home candle fires occurred when some form of combustion material was left or came too close to the candle” (nfpa.org). Many people use candles when a storm takes out the electricity in a home. Candles are an easy way to have light but one should always remember to blow them out when done using them. Other ways to keep fire safe are never leaving a candle in the reach of children. Not only can it cause a fire, it can always cause severe burning of the skin. Placing a lit candle in the bedroom is risky because people fall asleep in there and can leave the candle burning. Christmas time is the most popular and busiest time of the year to purchase, display and light candles to use them as decorations in a home.

Lighting is a tricky world to play in for if you have too much, you blinding your subject and if you have too little you can barely see where you are going. The proper amount of light necessary changes with the room, the subject, the action, the setting, the overall mood of the scene is governed by precise amounts of light or lack thereof. Light is power, control the light, and control the show.
