Thats kinda of how I feel about it. I gotten nothing since the email confirmation and they didn't provide any way to track the order or check the status.
If you don't sharpen your axe from time to time, you will soon be chopping with a hammer.

They're pressurized and can also be affected by altitude. They can also explode in too high temps, or not work if it's too cold and the butane turns to liquid rather than gas. Ever dunk a lighter in water and try to light it? Flint and/or mag bars work when wet, aren't affected by wind, temperature, altitude, have no moving parts, & work even if dropped or broken. That's why... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Sounds good to me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But I still carry a lighter as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

who uses a mag. fire starter when there are better products on the market... Hey fellas use technology... it's your friend... ugh!!! Someone who wants a fire starter that will work in all the conditions where lighters won't? I rarely carry a lighter - moving parts can break, it can leak fluid, and it's easy enough to use other fire starting methods that it's not really needed. What I do carry is a tube of waterproof matches, a magnesium firestarter, and usually another, larger fire steel. The matches get used for convenience, but the magnesium and firesteel get used a lot, simply so I stay in practice with them. If I get stranded far from civilization, your lighter will get used up a lot faster than my firesteel.

for anyone who ordered these online, don't hold your breath. Apparently they are on back order and their company policy is that if an order is less than $9.99 and it's back ordered they cancel the order. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

I tried to get 2@ 2.99 each but shipping is another $5.99 so it comes out to be around the same as my local camping store. Thanks for the link nonetheless Andy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.
