That useless piece of plastic and flint carried on exercise in your top-left (attached with cam-string or para cord) which, at one time, fulfilled its sole purpose in life i.e. created fire.

At no time whilst on exercise should a cigarette lighter EVER suceed in lighting a cigarette!

Try buying one of these instead. Tell the MO it's for lighting fires and not fags. Jolly Good.
