My Fiance’ and I took a trip to northern Michigan this week. I carry a brass armored Zippo and have two packs of flints and I’m embarrassed to say neither pack was put in my backpack before we left. Oh I had everything else, three Surefires (LX2, Outdoorsman AA, and a Titan T1A) and batts, my Benchmade 470 and a Wenger SA, a couple Leathermans…two small radios that get SW, two first aid kits…etc., but no flints.

So we are walking from the hotel to the shopping district in Traverse City and my zippo jams up. The flint is done. I curse myself for failing to utilize a resource I have plenty of and not even two minutes later I found a dead cheapo lighter on the sidewalk.

So I whipped out my LM Style PS and used the pliers to extract the flint and put it in my lighter. It was big enough to last well after our return home.

Glad I found this place!
