Klimber Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 Ha! I was thinking about that when writing the post. I think I just might. And if wind/water becomes an issue I upgrade later... Quote
JosephH Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Get one of these down at Winks hardware if you're in PDX, they're butane mini-torches. Quote
Clavote Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 anyone have recommendations on a lighter that can stand up to wind and rain? Colibri Extreme II Wind-Resistant Lighter Colibri Sting Lighter Colibri Riptide Wind-Resistant Lighter Wow, those are expensive lighters. I had no idea. I got a bic mini three pack for $3.50 at wallgreens just before I headed out. It was a little windy on the mt but after several tries, it lit and I lit my stove with it. I also don't trust piezo ignition lighters above sea level. I like the mechanical flintwheel on the bic mini. And there are a few safety matches on me, just in case the bic mini dies. Quote
genepires Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 you trust piezo ignition lighters below sea level? Quote
JosephH Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 That unit above is what I used to melt webbing cuts out at Beacon in wailing East winds. It costs about $20 bucks and uses the rectangular Bic-type lighters without the thumb wheel (you can just buy the regular ones and rip out the wheel). Like all piezos it can take a take a few tries to get it going, but once going it rips... Quote
