This thread caused me to order one similar to the orange one above. I have mini Bics in packs by the dozen but find them difficult in the wind and w/ gloves like the real world offers. Zippos are great but never seem to have fuel when I need it.
I tested the explorer yesterday w/ gloves and the wind and it easily lit my cotton balls and other fire starters. It did not work well w/ a bundle of dry grass and twigs. I think that carrying tinder/fire starter that works in all conditions is probably the key.
YMMV
