If your goal is to start a fire or light a stove, a bic is obviously better. If you want to have fun larping as a “survivalist,” then go for it.

I couldn't catch newspaper on fire with that meme.
Bics go bad after a while. I had some in a dry bag with a desiccant for one of my "go bags." After a few years the flints disintegrate and the fuel leaks out.

The best way to use one is to get a little pill container full of petroleum jelly and cottonballs. The cotton catches the spark, and the petroleum jelly keeps it burning. I habe actually started a couple campfires this way.

If you buy the Light My Fire brand, the biggest meme is using the spine of a knife to strike it. The striker is literally better.

They're very good for lighting liquid fuel stoves like whisperlight though. Arguably better than the tiny flame on a bic.

I have this knife, joke x-mas present from bro for "surbibing". Supposedly 1055 steel but seems much softer than that, still not too shabby since it's stupid easy to keep it sharp.
The tiny ferro rod it has actually works but it's not a great sparker, but getting a spark on something like char cloth or charred punk-wood is easy. I keep it in my back up bag now.

Neat back-up, doesn't hurt to have it but just like.. bring a couple of lighters.

There's /out/ for multiple reasons. Which are you.

1. I like being outside but I'm not actively trying to make it difficult. I just want to be in the forrest, have a fire, few drinks, some music and enjoy myself = bic

2. I want to pretend I'm stranded in the forrest and want to sleep on leaves and let bugs inside my anus = rub sticks together using public hair as tinder

3. I'm somewhere in the middle = I dunno, whatever? Is it fun? Does it feel good? Is it annoying? You do you pal

4. (Bonus round) I'm here for the bigfoot = use your AR15 to start fires

As with any fire starting technique, it's all about skill and tinder preparation.

I can go out and find two rocks to spark and get a fire if I need to if I have any kind of charred material or tinder fungus available, yeah a ferro rod is larpy, but it's a nice thing to have if you lose your bic.

My biggest complaint with lighters is that:
A-They rust
B-They run out of fuel

I guess a knife could rust too, but it doesnt make it completely unusable, unlike the wheel on a bic.

Really in my mind its more a question of whats better for your uses than which one is better period.

The dichotomy of lighter vs ferro rod is retarded. The first thing you learn about building a fire kit is that two is one, and one is none. Never have just one method. Bic lighters are fast and convenient, but I have had them malfunction in cold and windy conditions. Ferro rods are harder to start a fire with, but work every single strike and are not large or heavy. There’s no reason not to have both, in conjunction with some waterproof tinder, or something like hexmine fuel tabs that burn for an hour or so, you have guaranteed warmth. I have a ferro rod, 2 bics, wet fire tinder, Vaseline and cotton balls, hexamine fuel tabs and emergency storm proof matches in my kit and it hasn’t ever failed

I like em and depending on the area you live in they work pretty well. You just need to have a functional brain and know how to find fuel fine enough to work with it. Usually if you don't have dry moss the next best thing is extremely fine wood shavings and thin dry leaves. I wouldn't use it in the rain or a very humid environment though. As for lighters the best ones to get are actually the electric ones where they have the arc going across the metal prongs. Will work in howling wind, torrential rain, upside down, whatever, and it goes the moment you pop the button

>Hurr but the battery runs out

You're using a lighter dumbass. At least an electric lighter won't have fuel bleed out and evaporate like a bic or zippo will. I lost one in my truck one time, found it 8 months later and it still had a decent charge. Flicked it open and it worked the moment I pressed the button. If you've never tried one you're really missing out.

It's all extra except the stick of magnesium. Lose the handle, cord, and steel.

Alternatively carry a tube of magnesium shards, or keep a large block of magnesium in the trucks shtf box.

The rods are either ferrocerium or mischmetal depending on who makes them. Some rods are attached to magnesium blocks. You scrape a small pile of magnesium and then ignite the pile with the ferrocerium/mischmetal attached to the block.

They work, just not as well as a lighter.
If you have a working lighter use that.
If you lost or broke your lighter then flint and steel is a fine backup.
You carry it for the reasons its not likely to break and even if it dies break it still can be used to make a fire.
The only thing that can go wrong is if you lose it. Otherwise as long as you have it on you, you have a faster ability to make a fire then just rubing sticks togather.

It's an essential survival skill. If you intend on going /out/ you should keep it as a backup and know how to reliably start a fire with one. It won't be your main method of starting a fire and you will probably never *need* it, but it's good to practice, and essential to have the skill.

Go dip your nearest bic in some water, set it on a table not in the sun and see how long it takes before it works again. You can also lose them, break them, run out of fuel etc. I can't imagine how stupid you would have to put your life in the hands of a single bic
