    There is truth behind "two = one, one = none"

    3 lights, 2 fire starting methods, 2 knifes(both with 550 lanyards), and 1 multi tool(i.e. leatherman),and a small roll of 550, minimum!:rock:

    E1L problem or paranoia?

    just did, working perfectly! Knew it would, just paranoid, I take my lights into burning buildings, rappelling, car accidents, and they get abused a LOT. Just making sure, they feel like members of the family, I know that anywhere else that would sound weird. THANKS!:party:

    E1L problem or paranoia?

    So, playing with my lights, trying to run down some the almost dead batts so I can replace them, when I notice my E1L is flickering a little, not turning on and off but a lite flicker. Now I know the batt is WAY low and I have never had an issue before, just wondering. I have always been under...

    My first Emergency Situation using my EDC Light

    A lot of cops carry not so good lights(mag 3-6 ds:candle:), having someone there with a good light is usually a blessing for them!

    Need 3 flashlights for walks

    I always carry two spare batts with me at all times, as well as my E2DL on my belt and my new E1L in my pocket, so I can replace my E1L twice or my E2DL once. The neat little trick I use is a waterproof match container from wal-mart and it fits 2 123As perfectly, and its waterproof! Cheap...

    SureFire G2D-FYL

    I like the fact that it turns on high first. As a firefighter paramedic I have used my light(E2DL) for self defense as well as illumination, you get a lot of angry people out there and some are not happy to see you at all. Just the other day we went out for an illegal burn because we are in a...

    Getting new light!!

    Thanks to Daddy's little tax deduction(Ethan-4 months old) I get a new light. I want to go for little here so I have settled on a E1L Outdoorsman. My question is does anyone know if it comes on low or high first? Any other opinions will be helpfull, and as always thanks!!:grin2:

    SureFire L2 Question

    The L2 is on of the best you can get for a flood, if not THE best. The L2 was my second surefire(G2 was first) and I carry both the L2 and E2DL on my belt everywhere I go. The L2 is a good flood and the E2DL is a great spot. I think you would be happy with the combo!:D

    dealing with surefire

    Tactical flashlights giving false sense of security?

    Flashlights, guns, knives, all these things are just tools, and some times the best way to use them is to not. I have been in situations where I have had road raged drivers pull a gun on me and the best thing I could do was leave QUICKLY, even though I had my gun on me and loaded. Most people...

    SF one cell lights

    E1L with two light settings. Have had my little eye on one for a while, like the low setting first, sometimes you just need a little light!
