Hello from Australia,
My wife and I with our 12 months old baby are planning a holiday to Hawaii in the near future. While the wife plans the trip, where to go, the activities to do etc. Goes without saying I nominated myself to take care of packing the family flashlights needs.
This got me thinking of the number of lights I'd need and how many spare batteries to bring.
When I go overseas on holidays, work trip, hiking or camping I always bring 2-3 flashlights just incase one fails I still have backups. Not once have i experienced my main light fail on me. I always return home feeling I've overpacked.
I've read many of you carry backup lights, 1 equals 0 and 2 equals 1... We've all heard of this. But has there been instances where you had to use your backup.
My question to you all is; how often has your main EDC fail on you?
