Lighters are not an end all do all of fire. They require checking, and double checking. Bic is one of those tried and true brands but they do eventually leak, or flints corrode. Obviously if you push the button in your pocket it will run out of fuel. Prepping wise variety is key; lighter, matches, ferro rod. I KISS (keep it simple stupid) in my BOB but at home, I keep a variety. Plenty of matches, a supply of bic lighters, a good stash of clippers, no shortage of zippo parts/ components/ fuel, and plenty of ferro rods. diversity is important.
Even ferro rods can corrode quickly and are not a perfect answer. All of the above require a form monitoring. Setting yourself up for failure thinking you can stash something, not look at it for several years, and hope it works when you need it, other than a P38 can opener that is.
