[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 2795862, member: 14169"] I have had the unhappy experience of being in a severe snowstorm with winds in excess of fifty mph. (Not my guess, NOAA confirmed later in the day). It caught us on the mountain very fast with a falling temperature. Our butane lighters did not work because of the cold. My friend with his traffic flare fire starters, was on the other side of the valley hunkered down under a big blowdown. I now carry one of those fancy pezio lighters with petroleum jelly infused cotton balls in a small plastic bottle. Of course I haven't had the chance again (thankfully) to try them in severe weather but they sure light easy in the backyard! Well I watched the video. It is a lot harder to find a flat, DRY rock and a flat DRY anything in three feet of snow with more snow blowing in sideways hard enough that you can barely see your hands. [/QUOTE]
