I haven't even hit 40 yet, and, yeah, rings true
I like this guy "i'm pretty sure that's how break dancing got started"

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Many a Zippo burn on my leg!!!

 

[nammac]

I remember those Zippo lighters, and yup, I overfilled mine and it most certainly leaked into my pocket and elsewhere

I recall the burning sensation, might just be how break dancing got started...

Great video, very entertaining...

Ha, interesting character!
I thought most oldsters carried a hanky!
My Dad always did.. his whole life.
I bought some years ago but never have carried one.

I carry one in every coat or jacket. Most are actually bandannas.

I gotta give it a go.. gonna lay out a hanky right now as a reminder. brb

Heck, A hanky is good for all sorts of stuff! wiping finger prints off a throw down, coverin your face wild west style, cleanin your hands AND blowin your hooter!

I found 'em.. a four pack. Nice and not bulky.. the classic kind.
I don't think they'll remain that hospital white color for long though.. I can see me winding up carrying darker mid-sized kerchiefs shortly.
Imna try them out

 

[Andy54Hawken]

You always need a Hanky ... Never know when you will run into someone with a Panky...

The classic bandana prints are what I carry.
Great for wiping glasses ... or making my students wonder if I really am in a gang...

Back to the OP ... cool video thanks for sharing.

I could see that happening, being next to the cue-stick for pocket-pool and all...

Wife's "doomsday bug-out bag." Excellent!

Thanks for sharing.

 

[bsa1917hunter]

Funny,sounds like his EDC is his wife and her doomsday bag...

He forgot to mention having a spare Depends!!



BTW- if I could blow my hooter, I'd probably never leave the house.

 

[DB is Here]

That video just makes a fella smile. Good one.

 

[Joe13]

I always burn off the extra fluid before I put a zippo back into my rotation - never had leaks or the burning y'all are talking about.

Bic's are nice but the kid safety stuff and the fact you have to hold down the button keeps them from being a favorite but I do keep one in each of my bags since they don't evaporate.

And I'm not sure what I'd do without a bandana in my pocket.

 

[Pops1911]

Still have my zippo I carried in SE Asia back in the '60s. I keep it in my "valuables" box. Bet I could still fire it up if I wanted to.
