Everybody condem the Bics because it is difficult to see how much fuel is left, and the flame cannot be adjusted. I bought a pac of some lighters that are like the Bics but don't have the problems that Bics have. You can see the fuel, the flame is adjustable and they are cheap. I bought them at Wal-Mart some time ago. I think that they were about 6 for $3.00 or something like that.The brand name is ACE. I take a couple of them in my pocket when I go hunting and they work ok. Just in case I always carry a freshly fueled Zippo, and a ferroucious rod with a piece of a hack saw blade sharpened on the other side of the teeth. Also cotton balls with Vaseline in a small zip lock bag.
