How Many Survival Tools Can You Pack In A Zippo Lighter And Case? ( Archived) (23)

I make customized survival Zippos.

In my Zippos I put extra flints and wicks, a sewing needle, some fishooks, an exacto blade, and a credit card number.

They have hollow coins that hold sd cards; and I think I'll put one of those on the face of the next Zippo I buy.

On the case's belt loop I wrap 80# test Kevlar fishing line, and dental floss for thread.

I also adjust the wick for tricks, so that you can blow out your lighter, and have it light back up on it's own.

I even pack a few extra Zippos in my bug out bag, for trade items, when money doesn't work.



What else could you put in a Zippo Lighter, and the leather case it fits in?

Toothbrushes and toothpaste became popular in America after the invention of nylon bristles.

Most American women brush their teeth at least three times a day; and they like to kiss more, if you do too.

Maybe the fact that toothbrushes in England were made by a convict, in a prison, using pig hairs, is why they don't seem to have caught on over there?

You got me.

I've always packed by weight or volume.

Even though Swiss Army knives have toothpicks... a list that makes it just about impossible to pack a toothbrush, toothpaste, and my Zippo really messes with my mind!

Zippos are great survival tools, because they can use so many kinds of fuel; and leaving it behind, because the fuel added up to 16 items, isn't a descicion I'd make in real life.

I kept trying to avoid it, and pretending like I thought you were talking about a dessert island; until it seemed like an interesting exercise.

It was fun.

I had to get back to packing everything possible, as long as it'll fit in a given space.

And the fact that my Zippo contains 6 or 7 things that most people would want in your thread, just made it a little more interesting.

Mine are under contract. Perhaps when that is null and void, I can add you to the waiting list?

If you'll tell me who they're under contract to, I can forward this post to them, and we can get the ball rolling.

I've managed to master most aspects of "adulting", except keeping house plants alive.

Once they dry out, you can smoke them with your Zippo.

No matter how good your buds are... lighting them with napathane will get you a little higher!
