## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this take the same flint as their lighters?**
A: Yes it does take the same flint as the zippo lighters .

**Q: Can this be left in hot cars in the south?**
A: zippo is not responsible for any lost or stolen articles from vehicles left unattended in the south

**Q: How does this work better than a bic lighter?**
A: Well, if you've ever tried to use a Bic lighter in a rain storm, or when the temps are cold and windy to light a campfire, then a lot better. Are there better methods? Sure. However, I have been buying these to toss in my hunting bag, or for helping friends build their own survival kits and get home bags. They work just great. Gimmicky? Maybe a little, but sometimes that's not necessarily a bad thing...

**Q: How or where can you get replacement fire tenders for this zippo efk???**
A: right here on amazon. the link for the tinders is right on the fire kit page at least 3 times for me.

Good emergency fire starter. I prefer using my knife over the built in striker but it works well. Solid bit of kit to have in your camping or survival gear.
