Trying to make up for lost time. The year 2025 started out with a lot of ideas and plans but fell apart for the most part because external events I had no control over. Spent some time the past few days reviewing some of my video archives and ran across this particular video I really liked and thought I would repost it to fill in some of the BTC gaps from the past few months.
Zippo Lighter moments are a reflection of stories that revolved around my old friend Ralph. He not only was a good friend but became a mentor and inspiration for not only myself, but for several others of our little troop of outdoor enthusiasts. He always carried a pipe no matter where he found himself. Whether fishing from a canoe, hunting ducks on a cloudy winter day, or hiking along the edges of a field quail hunting, that pipe and him became as one. The strongest memory I have was the sound of the old Zippo Lighter he used to fire it off. The clink, zip, puff sound associated with him and his pipe engrained within all of us special moments afield. No camera, no video footage were required. The visual images were welded into our minds and hearts and became symbolic of those early days afield.
This video chronicles one very special moment...one of my favorites. Please enjoy, A Zippo Lighter Moment - When Nature Wins.
