    Looking back on 20 years

    I'll be 20 years in May but I was a lurker long before that. The CMG Infinity Ultra is what started it all for me. CMG was subsequently purchased by Gerber, which I believe is how Gerber first got into flashlights. I don't believe they even sell flashlights anymore but they're still some of...

    Nitecore P12GTS Question

    Is anyone able to tell me the diameter of the Nitecore P12GTS where the optional pocket clip goes? I need a pocket clip for a 20mm diameter flashlight and the one for this flashlight looks like it might fit the bill if it's the right diameter. More specifically, in case anyone has done it...

    What can I wrap my battery in?

    Tin foil? Wouldn't that allow the heat to transfer to the body? You'd just need to make sure you wrap it in a way that doesn't short something out.

    What Driver and LED for 2D Lantern?

    I'm building an LED lantern that runs on 2 "D" size batteries in series, so I assume avg. of 2.4V. I've been on Dealexteme's website and they're not very good at telling you what is compatible with what. What LED Driver and LED would you recommend for this application? I like the idea of 5...

    Thorfire TG06

    I used the search but got nadda on this particular flashlight. Anyone have any experience with it or an opinion on the general quality of this brand? I wanted a single AA light for not much more than $30 with at least a high and very low mode that is durable and looks cool. I really like this...

    Clash of Clans?

    Does anyone else here play Clash of Clans? My son started playing it and now I'm addicted. He doesn't even know I play :). I even joined his clan at one point without him knowing. It was interesting seeing what he and his clan mates chat about. If there are other people here who play, my clan...

    Non-Chemical Water Softener

    Can anyone who has a non-chemical water softener recommend it? This would be the electrical type of softener rather than the salt type. Instead of removing the calcium and magnesium from water, like the salt softeners do, the electric softeners change the calcium and magnesium so that they...

    Reliable Knots For Lanyard

    What types of knots could I use to make a simple wrist lanyard for a flashlight? I'm using 550 paracord and I just want to feed a single piece of rope through the lanyard hole in the flashlight and then tie the two ends together so that the knot doesn't slip under tension or come apart. It...

    Use Both Lanes To Merge Point?

    You're on a two lane highway and there are signs far ahead of a lane closure that one lane is closed ahead. There are no signs that you must form one lane prior to the merge point and no signs indicating that you should use both lanes until the merge point. You're basically free to merge at...

    Non-DX Budget LED Thrower

    What is a really good budget LED thrower that is not from DX. I really like the 4AA setup for some reason but I would consider other standard alkaline powered lights in any configuration. Is the Streamlight Propolymer 4AA LUX still a contender in the throw category? There was a lot of talk...

    River Rock Nightfire 2C Review!

    I wonder if these will ever be re-stocked when the current stock is gone. The three Target stores near me have been out of stock on all River Rock lights for weeks. The UPC tags aren't even there anymore. Does anyone know of another source? It's hard to even track down the manufacturer/importer.

    What food is your town/region/country famous for?

    About 80% of all pretzels consumed in the US annually are made within a 50 mile radius of my house. We're also the originators of the shoofly pie and the whoopie pie. Of course I'm talking about the Lancaster Pennsylvania Dutch Country.

    Trespassers

    Or they'll just start ignoring you. If these are adults and you know where they live, ask the police (nicely) if they could pay them a visit. I know you shouldn't have to ask police officers to do their jobs but sometimes you have to. If this has been going on for as long as it appears, and...
