      Agree. I bought one to go on trek, but you need to refuel it every week. Maybe 2 weeks if you tight it in inner tube. I ended up buying a storm lighter instead. I put it in my underpant when it’s too cold, to avoid gas liquify 😂.

        I was also pretty disappointed when i found out Zippo’s drain themselves passively in 1-3 weeks. I thought I was getting the best version of a lighter… :(

      Zippos are really only around still because of aesthetic and cool factor and anyone who says otherwise is lying.
