And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

A couple of these lighters (along with some BICs) should be in every household. The fuel bottles keep for a looooooong time (when sealed) and knowing tricks to keep them alive are not hard to do. The Zippo's hat trick - staying lit without any assistance at all.
If you want lighter fluid that's cheaper than the stuff sold as lighter fluid buy a pint can of VM&P naphtha at a hardware store in the paint section or on Amazon. Same stuff. Make sure that it's VM&P. There are a few other grades that have different flash ponts and aromatic content.
