Pocket Torch

Find it very useful; lighting fires while camping is easier. Works for the occasional heatshrinking. Quality & reliability of ignition depends on the lighter. Refills more or less commonly available as well as cheap. Always have it on my trips. Packs well.

I picked up a normal bic lighter and it didn't fit. It needs a Scripto lighter. I think it works pretty well, but it's August and I'm not above 5000 ft, although I am west of Nebraska. So I'll have to see how it does in the cold and at higher elevations.

label says may not work at colder temps or above 5000 ft., so it's no good west of nebraska or when it's cold enough that you really need it.mine lit twice and that was it
