Why the World is my Bottle Opener

Recently, I wrote an article on Swiss Army Knives and Leatherman tools, and how I felt they were highly overrated. I backed up this boldly irreverent claim with a few examples of how obstacles encountered on the road can be overcome without the trusty tool. All we need is a little creativity and ingenuity.
Of course, not everyone agreed – which is totally understandable – and I thank everyone who took the time to comment and provide their own take and help make the article infinitely more balanced.
Anyway, one scenario in the post briefly touched upon the opening of beer and wine bottles. Although I mentioned a few items that can use to open beer bottles, I failed to illustrate exactly how they are used. So, for those folks wanting to learn a little more about this fundamental road-skill, I’m proud to present the following clips:-
This first one shows how to open a bottle of beer with that dual purpose lighter

…Wondering how else you can do it? Here are a just a few of the other ways…It’s an inspiration!
Great post! Something every man who travels should know how to do…
Love the post. I always like the lighter as a bottle opener trick. When my friend first showed me how to do this it took awhile for me to learn how.
Oh no, this can of worms again! Well, it is I, The Great Defender of the Swiss Army Knife, back to defend his faithful tool!
Nath, you speak of duel purpose bonuses, but a swiss army knife is a 100 purpose bonus . . . but i should not speak. . . I never did replace the one that was lost in Central America.
. . . I have gone through more than a year of traveling without one.
I must admit that I have not missed it.
Lets call this one a draw?
