Thread: Explorer lighter

first 2 trips after giving up smoking ....no lighter or matches.....got caught out trout fishing with family and nothing in wagon to light cooker for a cuppa tea.....you CANT light tissue paper with ciggy lighter on dash...believe me I tried and tried...anyone who knows me will tell you a cuppa tea is second only to breathing in importance....then found box of .22lr ammo in glovebox....pulled projectile out and tipped half powder on tissue,the lighter worked on that,fizzzzzz poof flame,lit cooker and had cuppa.
got lighter in every vechile along with a bacho knife...my bumbag has matches and striker in wee canister.
the waterproof matches are fine but the striker is the weak link.

years ago Dad n I were out back of farm ,same deal no matches...he took sparkplug lead off chainsaw,wee bit of petrol on rag,pulled starter cord and we were away laughing.
