At least you have "Unformat & Rescue" programs to fall back on. Ever since Warren Beatty made that film about leacherous men posing as gay hairdressers, you can't even convince the modern husband that you were only there to do her hair.
Hmm. If I remember correctly the film your talking about is "Shampoo". While you might remember Warren Beatty, I have vivid memories of a half naked Goldie Hawn strutting her stuff.....Ahh, if only... Julie Christie wasn't bad either.... To be able to link Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn into a post about lighters I think is testament to the forum members depth of knowledge on a wide range of subjects <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Getting back to the Windmill lighter topic, I pulled mine out of my BOB last week and the darn thing was empty. Tried to refill it with butane and it all leaked out in a couple of seconds. This is my second Windmill, the first was returned for the same issue.
I am beginning to think Windmill is not first choice for a survival fire starting tool. I've had better luck with $.99 BICs <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
At any rate, I would be interested in what you guys depend on in the butane lighter category. I'm about ready to give up on Windmill. Its a good thing they have a lifetime guarantee.
