    Hey all, thanks for your comments, appreciate it. Quick question, if you are using one of those USB rechargable ones, what do you recommend and are their any advantages to them whatsoever other than higher lumens? Maybe I was too quick to jump on the li-ion in my first post, but really, I...

    Hey guys I am looking for one of those travel ready foldable portable UV sanitizer wands. But so far what I have found I am not sure what would actually work, what doesn't, etc. Amazon has mixed reviews. I found another review site AuthorityTopList, but not sure they are legit or not. Search...

    Sports / Concert Binocular recommends needed

    Thanks all, I ended up going with a pair of Nikon 8x30 Monarch 7s. They are pretty clear, waterproof and have a slightly larger exit pupil than the 8x25s I already have. Nikon has a no fault warranty policy also. I feel that 10x is going to be too much. And very difficult to use in many...

    African Safari headlamps & flashlights, will need in lodges when power is turned off

    Re: African Safari headlamps & flashlights, will need in lodges when power is turned I just did some searching and found that white and red leds attract bugs. So I did a search on green, and it seems to be the best, so that means I may be purchasing a Green CG6 from Nitecore or I will buy...

    Re: African Safari headlamps & flashlights, will need in lodges when power is turned I actually just bought the PD35, awaiting delivery of it. And I will probably start EDC this light simply because it can blast away my current EDC which is the Jetbeam RRT01. But I also just found the...

    African Safari headlamps & flashlights, will need in lodges when power is turned off I am hoping to go on an Africa Safari in the near future. I think all the places we are staying have generators, but the power is only on for a few hours at night and then lights out. If I am still up I will...
