Wow, thats a lot of flame. I carry bics exclusively and I have never had a problem even in the rain. I like them because they are cheap and they take a long time to run out of fuel. I have never had the need to carry a refillable lighter like a hurricane or whatever, and I have been on the continental divide in january.

Hope this helps.
