    Cream was pretty good. Short lived though.

    Dual fuel thrower

    Thanks for the suggestions. I like the Hound Dog but it looks like a larger size than practical. I suspect I will just bite the bullet and get him a Surefire and hope it doesn't get lost. again, thanks.

    Dual fuel thrower

    So I guess there is no such thing, huh? Guess I'll buy him a Surefire and hope it doesn't get dropped down an arroyo somewhere.

    Dual fuel thrower

    You guys helped me out with a similar question a bunch of years ago and I suspect someone can do it again. :thumbsup: One of the kids is taking up the volunteer SAR mantle, {I retired in 2014 at 61}, and I want to buy him a handheld light for Christmas. He has a streamlight stinger, {which...

    Maui Jim sunglasses

    Great shades! I bought these Big Island glasses because of the Flexon frames. The are awsome on the water, great polarized lenses. They might be too dark for some folks.

    Who wouldn't want one of these

    Good question, two 1250 watt lights running from a 2.25 Kw generator doesn't seem to leave much reserve, although one of the more knowledgeable “power gurus” here would know better than me.

    Looking for a Bag Like This

    You may want to look around for something like one of these: http://www.websoft-solutions.net/photos/17585-2.jpg http://www.lifemedicalsupplier.com/images/FIELDTEX%20AIRWAY%20CASE.jpg There are many companies who make them in as many different configurations; some are set up as backpacks...

    Anything better than e2e for small throw light?

    This: "The E2E features a new click-on/off tailcap pushbutton switch that gives the user the benefit of momentary activation or the convenience of a constant-on "click" switch in a single switch. A patented lock-out tailcap allows the light to be locked in the off position to eliminate...

    Police backup flashlight

    Points well taken; I was trying for an overly simple answer when what I wanted to point to were two things which would trouble me in a “back up light”. A battery which needs to be checked, changed, charged, topped off, whatever, as often as my primary light. Lights which have bulbs...

    Police backup flashlight

    OK, just me, but the nature of a “back up” anything is that which can be more or less ignored when not needed . When you do need it, (be it a light, firearm, or some other 'emergency' device), it needs to perform as well, or nearly as well, as that which it is backing up. The...

    Anything better than e2e for small throw light?

    For backpacking you may want to look at the Streamlight TL2. The Surefire light has the on/off tailcap clicky which is nice, but more of a weapon light thing. Not all that important when digging for the lost bag of trailmix. Comparing the SF e2e and the Streamlight TL2 on the...

    Price of the SF Hellfire

    Sir, With all respect due you, only Palestinians and the Taliban fire automatic weapons into the air. Most other folks wait for something to shoot. The rest of your observation is spot on. Hardball

    Back up lights with some legs

    I got home from a trip out of town this past week and amongst my mail was a small box from Amazon.com. Yeah! My TL3's had arrived. Dark fell, (thank the Lord for the end of daylight savings), and I was able to go out and try them out. That be some bright small lights, (seems...
