Ah. Thanks!

I have 2 zippos, and while i dont use them, they do light nearly every time

Maybe I'll try them

They do put off an odor, after all it isn't as clean burning as a butane lighter. However its probably two times better than a little BIC lighter.

Plus you if you dont have fluid you can use gasoline or other similar fuels

The flints are also replaceable so grab one of the holders for extras

gasoline? would diesel not be safer?

Desil isnt flamable

Desil is combustable and a zippo doesnt combust/compress the fuel it just lights evaporating gasses

ahh gotcha.

so how does a zippo keep the gas from all going at once?

It burns on a wick like a lanturn

The wick draws up the gas from the sponge its stored in, and then it evaporates off the wick and hit with a spark burns

oh okay. so I assume you can use kerosene too then?

https://www.bladehq.com/item--Ontario-RAT-Model-2-Knife-Folder--16435 I am thinking about getting a rat. what do ya'll think?

I will mainly use it for gen-purpose edc and occasionally carboard, although I try to use my boxcutter for that since we go through hundreds of boxes a day at CFA.

I would also love to get a rat 2

if you get it tell me what you think

will do.

I have an Ontario sp2 (fixed blade) that has worked well for years now, so I think the rat would be a safe buy.

Personally I carry a leatherman wave+ every day I can't tell you how many times I've used every tool in it.

Leathermans are a wonderful tool, Swiss Army knife+ essentially

yeah

i got a little hammer multi tool

cheapest meal prep kit that

will last 30+ years is just 40lbs of rice in a food grade 5 gallon bucket

whatever you do, don't cook food in the can it came in. they got a plastic lining that'll have you shitting through a screen door twice as bad as canned food already will

lol, that reminds me. my papa taught me a trick to cook canned food with a 12v cig-lighter if shtf. He says it obviously is not healthy and it puts a strain on your car battery if the vehicle isnt running, but he tried it with no problems.

he even said if you don't have a can opener, you can take a knife or a screw driver and punch a hole in the lid to A), keep it from blowing up, and B) at least drink the juice inside. xD

Heads up on ReadyWise, slow shipping and potentially poorly quality food.

Slow shipping?

I haven't tried the food but my family got ours in a week or so

I forget where we got ours, but it took like 4 months to get half of the shipment just due to covid.

could just be most places rn

Yea

Walmart has Augason farms and its pretty cheap but good

Ah my family has some of those too

I finally pulled the trigger on an OKC Rat! Also just bought all my Christmas gifts for my bros! Pretty excited ngl! :D

Nice!
