I wrap a spiral of stainless steel wire around the Bic. There’s always a use for a length of good wire.
Good idea. I hadn't heard that one. The down side with the ziptie is it's not reusable, and if you fell in a lake in winter or something and had a loss of dexterity it could be difficult to remove.
What about running the tie through the opposite direction where it doesn't lock itself together. If that would work it allows the lighter to be accessed easily even with cold hands, and it can be reused, not to mention you have a zip tie for other uses.
