>>268454Concerning bic lighters.......
>Temperature I've never had a zippo get so hot it wouldn't work, and when they're cold you can literally stick it in between your thigh and nuts and it'll heat right up fine unless your already pretty dead from hypothermia.
>Elevation Errm, I've never had one at elevation but if I know anything about pressure difference, I know that lower the pressure outside of a pressurized container will only increase the difference causing MORE fuel to flow from the lighter into the atmosphere...... so theoretically they should work BETTER at altitude. Correct me if I'm wrong.
>Moisture Run the flint down your arm a couple times, or a flat surface. The sparks will generate heat which drys out the lighter. I frequently carry a bic in my pocket into the river (accidentally) so many times that I hardly consider it an inconvenience because it's so easy to dry out.
>Dirt Step 1- Use water. Step 2- Use aforementioned method to dry out water. Step 3- Light
And seriously where the fuck are you getting them for 79 cents? Share your gypsy secrets...
