@2Srverataro@Rappenem Butane lighters aren't reliable at low temps. It gets down to -40F here pretty regularly, even white gas can be trouble. Making a fire outdoors in the winter takes preparation.
@rochtrar@Rappenem That's true. Never used a true flint & steel. These have been around since I started hunting. They're great in arctic conditions, works wonders with Vaseline and cotton balls.
James Monroe to Congress:
"The citizens of the United States cherish sentiments the most friendly in favor of the liberty and happiness of their fellow-men..." 🧵
"We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety."
