    Have you ever not used a flashlight?!

    In the late 70's my adventure partner (climbing, whitewater, caving, etc.) and I decided to make an adventure of exploring an elaborate and abandoned zinc mine about 30 miles from Las Vegas. We had been in the mine before and knew that it had more than seven levels and miles of convoluted adits...

    How do you carry extra batteries?

    For carrying more than a couple of 123, 17500 or 18650's, I use a Cigar Caddy by Otter Box. It'll hold 25 CR123's and it was free with a cigar order I placed a while back.

    Odd old light.

    Justrite is also known for their helmet or hat mounted carbide lamps. And later on, for their miners' lamps. The miner's headlamps would give 12-18 hours of yellow light from a belt mounted rechargable battery pack. I've used both in caves and hard rock mines. Justrite has a rich history. Nice...

    What was your first motorcycle?

    Best bright light for jeans front pocket carry?

    I'm partial to a KL4 on an FB1 body. The clip of the Vital Gear body keeps the unit low in the pocket. Comfortable without trying to look like Tom Jones.

    Fuel powered lanterns?

    Coleman built lanterns for farmers, but the I prefer the Camping Gaz lanterns from Europe. They are available from most good camping suppliers. I have a single mantle lantern and a single burner stove that both use the same propane/butane mixture canisters. They're in my evac gear. (I live on...

    Problem with new VG-FB1 switch

    My new Vital Gear FB1 switch is intermittant. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Usually a rap against the palm brings it to life. I know the simple answer is to send it back, but I thought I'd ask if there was an even simpler solution. Details... about a week and a half of gentle use...

    Bought my 1911

    I can't let this thread run with out a mention of the Para Ordinance 1911's. I've been carrying a P13 for about ten years. The double stack grip fits my hand better than my Colts and puts the pad of my index finger tip right on the trigger. This eliminated the side pull that I used to...
