80% of fire fatalities occur due to smoke inhalation. With every passing minute after the fire breaks out, your chances of survival go down by 10%, and after the first 5 minutes, your chances of making it out alive are 25%. The Saver Emergency Breath System is a sophisticated filter that you place over your mouth in the case of a fire, which gives you a precious few minutes during which to escape. It filters out carbon monoxide and toxic gases for up to 5 minutes. “Saver comes in a 2-person portable set or 4-person wall-mounted set, and also includes a flashlight and built-in alarm to help alert first responders to your location.” Prices start at $99 for 1, and $169 for 2.

A gas lighter is almost a must these days for even somewhat frequent grilling or hanging out around the firepit, but even then fires can still put up some resistance. Enter the Bison Airlighter: a butane gas powered lighter that puts out 2600 degrees to start your flames without kindling or paper in under a minute.
In addition to the extreme flame, and not unlike the Looflighter we saw a few years back, the Airlighter blows air with a built in fan to oxygenate your fire and get it going faster. Bison even included a front-facing flashlight and a bottle opener on the bottom.
The lighter is refillable with a standard butane canister and the batteries for the fan can be recharged through a USB port. It appears that the lighter is not quite ready for the retail market but you can pre-order at the Bison website for $99. You’ll definitely want to be careful with this one and void needing help from OLE the fire-fighting beetle.
