Dear /out/,
Looking for a particular gift. I need to get my friend a reliable outdoor lighter. The cheapo BBQ lighters are throw-aways that always fail him at the worst time.
His hand coordination is bad due to some nerve damage, so the usual /out/ stuff like firesteel, etc., won't suffice.
Lighting Conditions:
* Could be windy
* Could be cold
* Never a high elevation
What's Burning:
* Candle
* Paper
* Easy tinder to start a bigger fire
If they made long-necked lighters with replaceable piezoelectric bits (I gather that's the part that wears out first), I'd jump on them.
It's a gift and I won't cheap out.
Thanks!
