>>276274>Butane doesn't work so well when it gets cold out.Which is why you carry it close to your body if it's that cold or you just rub it between your hands to warm it up. Done. Easy, reliable, simple.
>>276262> Lighting a fire with just flint and steel is soooo gooood and feels right, man.Yeah, I'm picking up what you're putting down, and I agree. But in a survival situation, I'm not interested in fucking around with flint and steel or cottonballs or any of that shit. I want fire. Now. That's why simple cheap butane lighters are the best.
Hell, they have a built-in steel and spark.
