dude go to the store and buy a plain silver zippo, they are battle tested and amazing reliable. they are also windproof. trust me some guys have them still working from vietnam. a plain one is $15
what stores can you buy them from?I saw them at my gas station but when I looked to buy one they all disapeared.
walgreens,gas stations,online. i usually buy them online. over time you have to replace the flints and wicks and of course the fuel. but its totally worth it.

Dont overfill it cause when you put it in your pocket it will burn you.
I personally have one from Vietnam. My fathers Black Zippo. Only one that has a life warranty, no Q's asked.
A big plus to a Zippo is that they will work off naptha paint thinner that you can buy by the gallon.
BIC propane. You can get a three pak at the check out at Wally World for next to nothing!! Fire is Fire!!!
During the winter, this old, fat cripple goes NOWHERE without one in my pocket!!
Bubba
Amen, FirstBubba. It has been many years since I quit smoking, but I still carry a Bic around with me, especially when I'm in the woods. Even when you aren't in a "survival" situation, they're handy to light candles, fires in the fireplace and to burn the ends of nylon cord, etc.
Only thing with the Bic is they don't work well wet. But, then, neither does a Zippo!
I keep one Bic in my "hunting backpack" all snug in a zip-loc with a fist full of toilet paper! It stays there year round unless it's needed!
Bubba
Same thing with me Bubba,in the zip loc, cause if there is any water within half a mile Im gettin wet.lol A little fine steel wool is good to have to.
your best bet is a plain old bic cheap and reliable
I carry a brass Zippo in my pocket and a Bic in my pack. I also take a ferro rod and storm matches too. You can never have to many ways to make fire.
I keep several stainless steel peanut lighters in my various packs. Not only are they small, they are air tight which means they will still light after extended immersion and the lighter fluid won't dry out. I bought mine from www.countycomm.com at about $12 each.
