    Recommendations for camping: two needed

    Thanks for all the help. I bought two dozen of the county.com lights (along with a titanium crowbar, several more lights, blades, etc.) with the intention of giving them to the Scouts. My wife took them ALL to give to an early AM (6:10 AM M-F) Old Testament class she teaches to High School...

    Recommendations for camping: two needed

    OK< I am a Scoutmaster with a new batch of Scouts whose Dads are rather new to camping. I have been asked to recommend "something good and bright for out in the woods, and a small LED light for in the tent." and probably a good online vendor. Now I am a Surefire guy with Princeton Tec as my main...

    How to tie a square sinnet lanyard (pics included)

    These pics have disappeared. Did someone keep them? If so, I'd like to get copies as I think it would be a good rainy day activity for my Scouts. TIA

    All X990 owners please respond.

    OK, I bought an x990 nearly as early as anyone. I recall when the news came out I made every effort to get one early... I don;t have any missing pie slices, yellow stuff or whines when it starts up. I go to maximum brightness in about 6 seconds. And I take it on campouts and hikes (lug, lug). I...

    HELP, My PrincetonTec Surge just exploded; I'm hit

    Re: HELP, My PrincetonTec Surge just exploded; I\'m The lens is an integral bit that screws on to the body over the o-ring. That is what I was calling a cap.... It happened as I began to unscrew that lens body.

    HELP, My PrincetonTec Surge just exploded; I'm hit

    Re: HELP, My PrincetonTec Surge just exploded; I\'m hit Built up H2 pressure and an explosion seem credible. The amount of force associated with this puppy exceeds what I would have anticipated from a rapid depressurization of an inert acting gas. Such a gas might cause the cap to pop off as...

    HELP, My PrincetonTec Surge just exploded; I'm hit

    Re: HELP, My PrincetonTec Surge just exploded; I\'m hit OK, I don't intend to sue anybody unless my hand doesn't feel a LOT better in the AM. But any ideas on what happened or who to contact (instead of the generic "email us" link?) I have never had a problem with the other products.

    HELP, My PrincetonTec Surge just exploded; I'm hit

    HELP, My PrincetonTec Surge just exploded; I\'m hit I imagined that might catch somebody's attention. OK, I love my little Surge. Loved is the better word. The lights dimmed to near zero and I concluded "Aha" the batteries are now defunct and it is time to put in eight new AAs. I unscrew the...

    My second green laser should be....

    OK, I bought a "4.99" mw from z-bolt and have been very satisfied with it. But it just ain't enough. I am debating whether or not to get what appears to be a quality 15 from megalaser or go for the numbers -- you know, something like the various places that offer them up in the 50-85 mw range...

    ARC LS-TC

    These are relatively cheap at tad gear http://www.tadgear.com/x-treme%20gear/flashlights%20main/arc_light_ls-tc.htm so I got one. Wow. I am thrilled. The high dome tail cap switch is perfect for my hands.

    New head for an ARC AAA? Where??

    Now if you really have a set of lungs you can get a nice bass sound from your Millenium M6.... the Surefire orhestra practice starts on the E1 though. Make sure and dry off those contacts before loading the 123s back in. PS, Thanks to the Rodmeister I am set.
