    Recommendations for camping: two needed

    OK< I am a Scoutmaster with a new batch of Scouts whose Dads are rather new to camping. I have been asked to recommend "something good and bright for out in the woods, and a small LED light for in the tent." and probably a good online vendor. Now I am a Surefire guy with Princeton Tec as my main...

    HELP, My PrincetonTec Surge just exploded; I'm hit

    HELP, My PrincetonTec Surge just exploded; I\'m hit I imagined that might catch somebody's attention. OK, I love my little Surge. Loved is the better word. The lights dimmed to near zero and I concluded "Aha" the batteries are now defunct and it is time to put in eight new AAs. I unscrew the...

    My second green laser should be....

    OK, I bought a "4.99" mw from z-bolt and have been very satisfied with it. But it just ain't enough. I am debating whether or not to get what appears to be a quality 15 from megalaser or go for the numbers -- you know, something like the various places that offer them up in the 50-85 mw range...

    ARC LS-TC

    These are relatively cheap at tad gear http://www.tadgear.com/x-treme%20gear/flashlights%20main/arc_light_ls-tc.htm so I got one. Wow. I am thrilled. The high dome tail cap switch is perfect for my hands.

    New head for an ARC AAA? Where??

    Well, the top bit came unscrewed at the beach (south side of the equator--warm beach) and fell off the ARC AAA on the key ring along with the battery. Unable to retrieve (long story), so now I have an empty ARC AAA case. Any suggestions on either a) getting a new head or b) a use for this empty...

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2112446039 I emailed asking about condition and they represented that is looked unused and in the original crate. Anyone have an idea how we could power this sucker? It would need 140 AMPS in major mode and I think the "two truck batteries"...

    Early observations on Target purchase: Vector Sport Shot 3mmcp vs x990 and SF m6

    First, the Vector Sportshot is clunky, a little hard to hold, heavy. The beam is irregularly shaped whether on one or two bulbs with a wide area of erratic intensity. I am trying to say everything bad about it first, because it is a HUGE light for the price. It comes with wall and 12v...

    "Zundmittel" and a German built box of curious description

    I recently acquired a large, heavy wooden box with numerous compartments. It was labeled as a "French Army Field Desk" which I am certain it is not. The workmanship is exceptional with the lower half of the approximatey 75x75x15 cm box has numerous compartments. The upper half contains two...

    MaxaBeam, UK HID Light Cannon, x990, BEAST, etc

    Anyone have several of these? Where does my new x990 stack up? What is the real measure (as it can't possibly be candlepower) of how powerful these mega lights are?

    Propane Lanterns

    I go camping with the Scouts all the time and carry beeg containers of propane for cooking unless we are backpacking. The propane powered lantern of choice appears to be the COleman dual mantle job.... I'd love to have something VASTLY brighter and I have a pole that keeps it about 3 feet above...

    McCulloch x990 or wait for the BEAST?

    I am still awaiting my 10-x (ordered in October I think) and I need MORE photons. What do you think of these two as alternatives?

    Green laser fun, Part II

    You can easily trace the laser trail at night, but in the smoke of a campfire it looks absolutely "light saber" As the fire drifts down, you can aim the laser up through the air and see the location of the smoke amazingly well as it rises and stretches out. What a fine toy.

    Green laser fun, PART I, the best one

    1) Campout Friday. I am in charge of the camp fire. We build a big pile of lumber (see the XXXs) but I have laid cheapo wire to three spots (see the *'s) where I have hooked up flashbulbs (yes, they still make them) with the glass removed and about 3 Tbsp of pyrodex wrapped in Saranwrap. In the...
