Looking for a "torch" that works when frozen. - 01/14/09 05:09 PM
This isn't necessarily intended for a survival type situation...
I'm a smoker and intend to be one for a while. I like the torch style lighters. I've had a few, some advertised as "storm proof" and whatnot. But I haven't found one that's freeze proof.
Here in MN, in the winter, my lighter is in my pocket and when it gets cold it doesn't work for nothing. I want one that works when it's been out in the cold for a while. Don't want a zippo or bic, etc...
Anyone know of a torch style, stormproof lighter that actually works when it's frozen? Or is this something, due to the design of the torch style dealie, that just doesn't work when it's cold?
