This lighter works perfectly for me\u00a0indoors but fails\u00a0in the outdoors where it’s actually intended for use.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nSo when I packed the lighter for a recent canoe camping \u00a0trip it worked fine, and it worked fine for me the first few uses at camp\u00a0but\u00a0malfunctioned on me the second\u00a0night I tried to use\u00a0it to light my stove. This\u00a0was a total fail due to a jammed trigger.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>But luckily another camper had a Scripto Outdoor lighter that we used for the\u00a0entire four day camping trip, otherwise we might have been without food because of a disposable lighter malfunction.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"pa150002\"](\"https:\/\/moshannonfalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/pa150002-150x150.jpg\" "\\"pa150002\\"")
And when I\u00a0returned home from my trip\u00a0I threw the lighter on the desk and forgot about it for a few days and when I picked it up the thing worked again. I admit that I bought it because it was cheap, and I should have known better. This lighter is useful for lighting candles in the home\u00a0and maybe a tiki torch on the deck but probably not much more.<\/p>\n

Normally I don’t bother commenting on gear malfunctions because it does occasionally happen with gear from any manufacturer, but this\u00a0Ozark Trail WindResistant lighter\u00a0has to be reviewed because it not only failed me but\u00a0failed other people too, and could have left us without cooked food or fire in the Adirondacks for several days.\u00a0 And if you look around the Internet you’ll find a few positive reviews on this lighter, but they are reviews that\u00a0occurred indoors and were based on coolness factors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
