Personally, I would carry a box of matches!

Given there is a vehicle present, I would first try the cigarette lighter.

I guess that's why they tell people to carry jumper cables in the winter.

I carry a knife, but not jumper cables or pencils. I wonder if that would work with a Space Pen.

There are lots of pocket-able fire starters available.

It would have to be a very old car. Lighters are now extra-cost options.

I can't remember the last vehicle I had that had a cigarette lighter.

I think all of my vehicles have the outlet, just haven't had a lighter for a long time.

I have never smoked and I have always used the outlet for other things.
