Survival and Emergency Preparedness

It's well past any Zippo I've ever had. These solutions seem to work well.

Day 69: Lit on the first strike.

Day 75: Lit on the third strike. So it took a few strikes this time, but still fired up. May be starting to get to the end of it's run but we'll see.

Day 76: Lit on the first strike. Back to first strike so I'll continue to monitor.

Day 78: Lit on the first strike.

thank you

You are very welcome. I'm having fun with the test and I'm curious just how far it's going to go...

Day 81: Lit on the fourth strike. Didn't think it was going to light but finally did on the fourth strike but was very low. So 80+ days is definitely a vast improvement and I'll call this a very successful test. So even filling it up once every couple of months rather than every couple of weeks is exceptional and imo breathes new life into the Zippo.

I pass the following on for those of us who don't smoke or carry a Zippo. I researched and the fuel apparently never goes bad. I have my zippos in a special container in the garage together with a few large containers of zippo fuel.

I rarely drive, so if I did, I would put a couple of zippos in the car with a large container of zippo fluid.

Not bad at all. Getting almost 3 months is surprising. I'd probably try to get on a 2 month schedule of refilling to be safe. That's still over double what I ever had one last normally.
