Highly reccommend Zippo lighters!!! Yes I also carry a disposalbe butane -- but it is "mechanical" and can fail. In the 35 years of carrying a Zippo, it has never failed. I keep a bottle of lighter fluid in the glove box of my pick up and top the zippo off every few times I go into the wood to make sure the evaporative loss isn't a problem. I also keep an extra flint tucked away in the bottom of the lighter ( just pull it apart in the upside down position and the flint will be on top of the cotton wick material -- squirt in some fluid and then place the cover back down on the lighter and presto, set to go. I also carry a handful of wooden stick matches inside a vacumn seal pouch --use my wife's kitchen vacumn food sealer --works great!
