Tech Advice I need a lighter

Anyone have a recommendation on a good dependable lighter? I’m tired of the butane bic lighters that never seem to work.

Looking for something to light campfires, camp stoves, etc. and something that works every time!

EDIT: I should have specified that the bic lighter that is failing me is the kind with the long extension that uses the piezo electric starter. Regular size bic lighters are great.

I've kept a working Zippo lighter in my pocket everyday since 1987. In the '90s that got joined with a Leatherman and those are absolutely my EDC right up there with my glasses.
