I'd like to report that I completed the challenge myself using mostly only the Tikka XP2 and occasionally the Mammut S-Flex. Too bad my brand new Zebralight came in after the challenge...

Can't believe I didn't stumble on this one earlier... I think you must have forgotten to post a link in the previous challenge.

I'll probably start tonight, but this will definitely be easier when my 2 Zebras get here (hopefully long before Friday)

I failed multiple times, so now that I got my new Zebra's (H51WF and H31R) I'll be doing this over while waiting for the next challenge to pop up. Should be wayy too easy now since I always play with my new lights for a week like they're the only ones I got.

The only thing about this (an oldie but a goodie) is that it gets kind of embarrassing wearing it in the house when other people are around. Actually, I never us this -- but it was fun copying the 4Sevens idea a few years back. :whistle:

I think I'll stick to a ZebraLight flood (which is what I've been doing with great success for stuff in and around the house lately). Fix PC cabling under the desk, take out the trash late at night, go find something in the attic, go find something in the garage, mess with pool filter and pump behind the garage, take the dog out for a walk, even finding my way back from my PC work area in the front of the house to the bedroom in the back at 2 a.m. without flipping a light switch on or off. I even threw a quick game of darts with it the other night (just to see what it would be like). OK, that's my brief synopsis...and I bet I'm leaving a couple of things out.

Hands free is is great for me. :thumbsup:

The next challenge will be to use your lights in the wild at least 100 miles from home for a week ;)
Cataract, I am in Central Vermont, I will start walking towards the border. It will take atleast a week to walk the 234km from here to there :).
