Pyro Putty Trident 3-Function Lighter

Pyro What?

Pyro Putty has transformed the traditional fire plug. This product has been offered by many companies with only minor changes in color and packaging over the years. Unlike those outdated items, Pyro Putty develops, manufactures, and packages its unique, patented fire plug.

This innovative product features a moldable, sticky formulation that resists water and wind, even when engulfed in flames. It also boasts an impressive burn time considering its size and weight.

One of the standout features of Pyro Putty is its performance in extreme temperatures. It remains effective when freezing at -30°F and does not melt at 130°F. Depending on weather conditions, each small, penny-sized ball can burn for 6 to 7 minutes. It maintains a spongy, marshmallow-like texture. Users can easily attach it to a stick to create a torch for lighting pre-stacked firewood. This enhances its versatility for various uses.

The non-toxic product represents a fantastic addition to the Pyro Putty lineup. If you appreciate the traditional fire plug but seek an even better alternative, the Pyro Putty Fireballs will certainly ignite your enthusiasm. With no expiration date, you can count on it being ready whenever you need it. It is suitable for your wood stove, fireplace, cozy campfires with friends and family, or unexpected survival situations.

The Trident 3-in-1 Arc lighter, initially designed for military use, has undergone modifications to appeal to everyday consumers. It stands out as the first arc lighter featuring a replaceable rechargeable 700 mAh lithium-ion battery, operating at 3.7 volts. There is a built-in USB-C charging port integrated into the battery itself. This innovative design allows the battery and the charging port to be easily replaced. Each charge can produce over 700 ignitions

Additionally, the lighter includes a built-in LED light and a storage compartment. It is designed to hold a 1/4 inch by 3-inch ferro rod, a striker key, a pack of our new fireball fire starters, and a six-pack of our storm-proof Inferno Stick matches. This combination provides three reliable options for starting a fire in challenging situations.

Users can replace the battery by detaching the electronic body from the casing. This provides access to the compartment sealed with two O-rings. Each cap is also removable, allowing easy access to small jet boils or stoves without obstruction. This design makes it easy to replace the cap while ensuring a secure fit with a large O-ring seal. This enhances the lighter’s waterproof capabilities. This exceptional lighter will retail for $65.00.

Igniting wooden feather sticks with the Trident 3-in-1 Arc lighter was no challenge for the multi-use firestarting tool!

In the Field with the Trident Lighter 

The setting was Cripple Creek in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Fire is a necessity in camp, especially in Spring. I wanted to see how the Arc Lighter would do in the wind, submerged in water, and at high altitude. 

Once we established camp, I added the battery. Then, I placed the Trident 3-Function Arc Lighter in the creek for roughly 30 minutes. Upon retrieving it, the flashlight and Arc Lighter worked well. Fire was the next priority, and I gathered cottonwood inner bark for tinder and kindling. 

The author submerged the Trident 3-in-1 Arc lighter with no failure during the regular operations.

I made several feather sticks for the fire, mainly to test the power of the Trident Arc Lighter. This trip and location were the rare occasions I’d pick up wood from the ground. It’s a Southwest thing. After processing the tinder, I tried both a thin and a thicker piece of cottonwood bark. Each piece of inner bark ignited fast. 

Feather sticks were a different story. I make mine thin enough to take a spark from a Ferro rod. However, would they work with the Arc Lighter? Yup! 

Cottonwood inner bark was easy to ignite with the Trident 3-in-1 Arc lighter!

It took me about two seconds to ignite the thinly carved wood shavings with the Trident 3-Function Arc Lighter. Bravo, Pyro Putty!

Trident 3-Function: One Tool to Do It All
