A Bic lighter is a part of my EDC gear. If I'm wearing pants, there's a lighter in the pocket.
Never know when ya might need to set something on fire.

I kinda miss having a ton of lighters that I don’t remember bringing home then they vanished and got replaced by pens then it reversed.

No Zippos, but Bic's, Scripto hybrids, Plasma, flint & steel, ferro rods, long-neck BBQ lighters, etc.
