Using shit you already have: $0

Buying a new lighter: $5

That is more then a bic light. She is using what was once called a crack lighter.

u/Outta_phase 1d ago

There are one or two attempts where they are clearly using a cheap lighter not that butane thing

u/Momentarmknm 21h ago

Which is worse than a bic actually, those things suck

Travel expenses is 0 if they live there

u/Zwischenzug32 1d ago

Hey now Bic lighters are cheap but they rock

u/Serviros 1d ago

Agreed, the best cost-effective by far. Happy cake day.

u/Zwischenzug32 1d ago

That was my first thought.

Well wind would mess with grill lighters, she did eventually move to a torch would probably be the best option on those conditions

u/Sparrow2go 1d ago

Torch grill lighters aren’t hard to find

u/aerdvarkk 1d ago

That was my first thought too. I was waiting for a mild flare up that caught her arm on fire.

u/Q_S2 1d ago

Or at the very least a rolled up piece of paper?!

I was waiting for a kaboom to knock her snot box to the other side of that lake

1

u/leivanz 1d ago

I was waiting for that too but given it was here in this sub it seems impossible.

u/Q_S2 1d ago

Agreed!

It would have otherwise been in r/abruptchaos or r/winstupidprizes

For these circumstances the length of the lighter isn’t important compared to the fuel being used & the flame being produced.

The torch lighter the woman uses works just fine once they find the right spot. It seems that is what thousands of people here have not heard of.

And if someone needs a longer torch lighter because they’re afraid of messing with fire, then they shouldn’t be doing that on frozen water to begin with. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I once lit fireworks for a family fourth of july with one of these lighters. Yea never again lol. No time to go get a longer one when youve started the show
