Name says it all. What would you use if society collapsed or the world fell to a "Walking Dead" state and you had to fend for yourself and your family. 1st off, would you even carry a light? If so, what would you choose and why?
I know Surefire has great build quality, but they always seem to be 1-2 gen behind other lights as far as lumens. I personally want high lumens for reasons between lighting a target clearly, signaling allies, or close range blinding of a thug or someone. I also want a very low, low mode to use in stealth or whenever I simply want long battery life and being unnoticed. I'm surrounded by forest so I don't necessarily need huge throw. I think my Go-to light would be the Nitecore P12 with the Thyrm switchback. It's always been great to me.:tinfoil:
I like that I can use cr123 or 18650. I see cr123s in every Walmart/Target/REI I go to, so it's pretty common for me to find. The switchback is great because when my finger is through the ring, I know I won't drop the light. Even if I use it as a glass breaker or a weapon. I can also flip it around to use with a pistol in like 0.0024 seconds. It's pretty great.
