Winter Outage: Lighters and Matches

I have a couple of Vargo Ti products that I really like. Your bottle and couple of cups are great. However, this item was absolutely useless during the winter campaign. At home it worked great, the small size and the very small wheel took some getting used to. But nothing works as it should in the cold. Forget using it with gloves. Forget it if your gloves are larger than average. But it's not just you in the cold. Even if you can keep your fingers warm and nimble and hit the wheel properly, the wheel will stick from your body after about 5 minutes. If you leave it out in the cold (since mine was tucked into my backpack) it doesn't work at all. When we managed to spin the wheel there were no sparks. It's a really neat idea, but I just don't think it was made for really tough or cold situations. Warming it up close to our body and keeping our hands warm, we never ignited a spark. However, it now works when brought back to room temperature. =

Pros
  • Lighters
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
