    Maglite....why?

    Had one like that on my belt for many years! Handled both my lights and my baton (back when men were iron and batons were made of wood[emoji849])

    Maglite....why?

    I love when zombie threads wander through the land... I've owned a 3 C cell Maglite since 1986. As a firefighter and a reserve police officer it was the perfect size to keep with me all the time. It was bright enough at the time and made a decent tool for attitude adjustment or to access the...

    Ontario Machete Survival, Spec Plus

    My "survival knife" since 1988 has been a 12" Ontario machete. It has seen more miles and has been beat up so much, but it has never failed. I can sharpen it on a flat rock if needed, but I carry a small file and stone to touch it up. It's pretty light, so backpacking with it was no problem. I...

    What light would you use in a SHTF situation? (Zombies, anarchy, society downfall)

    I'd keep my 5 C cell Maglite close at hand - fairly easy to find batteries, bright enough (with my LED drop in) and enough mass to make a great club.

    I may have asked already, but Charlie Fox as in WBBQ or WZNY?? Nope, sorry. Neither ring a bell with me.

    Looking for specific edc tactical flashlight

    I like the Pelican 2350; single AA, very bright, 3 modes (high/strobe/low), pocket clip that doesn't clip on. It's a little chunky, but easily carried daily.

    Nite-ize VS. Terralux which is the better drop-in?

    How about for a 3C Maglite? I have an old Niteize drop in and, frankly, it sucks!

    Who else enjoys flying? I know there are fellow pilots& A&P's on here with stories

    Re: Who else enjoys flying? I know there are fellow pilots& A&P's on here with storie I enjoy flying and don't let the frustrations that most travelers experience get to me. I try to remain positive and go with the flow.

    Why does everyone hate mag lite?

    I think part of the reason they may not get as much love is they haven't been really quick to embrace where the market went. When I was coming up the MagCharger was THE duty flashlight and everyone had a MiniMag in their pocket, bag or on their belt. But as new technology appeared, they didn't...

    Why is the SureFire 6P so good?

    I bought a 6P when they first came out as my backup flashlight when I was in LE. It impressed me with its brightness and portability. I finally gave it to a buddy after I upgraded if to LED. 20 years old and going strong today!

    EDC for LEO Backup

    I just picked up Both a Streamlight Protac HL and the 2L for work. The HL is crazy bright and the 2L is very pocketable. Both run 2 CR123 and together would probably both be under $100 from the jungle place on line.
