    Retiring and old friend...what should I replace it with?

    Your absolutely right. I definitely got my moneys worth out of the Apex, it went with me to Hawaii, Wrangall St. Elias National Park, Mammoth Caves, and countless caves in my area. Its been a great light and I still use it since the darned thing still works! I know LED's have come a long way...

    Retiring and old friend...what should I replace it with?

For most of that time my primary light has been a Princeton Tec Apex with great results (my backup being a Princeton Tec EOS). Much to my dismay, while trekking I lost my pack over a 30' cliff. Upon retrieval I found my Apex...

    Wow, why in the world do you carry a flashlight with you?

    Living in Alaska as I do, carrying a light makes a lot of sense in the winter. Even in southeastern Alaska we only have about 6-7 hours of daylight in the winter months. Not the solid 24 hour darkness like farther up north but still. Getting firewood, thawing frozen pipes, putting on tire chains...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Used my EDC Fenix L0D (the precursor to the LD1) to find a speck of dirt in a coworkers eye. He was very grateful.
