I'm know there are several fellow campers in the forums, and I wanted to share an observation. I just returned from a 3 day/2 night backcountry camping trip, and had the following lights with me: Coleman Exponent 4AA lantern, Princeton Tec EOS headlamp, Quark 123-2 Tactical neutral white (front pocket EDC), and my recently purchased iTP EOS A1 (keychain EDC).
The light I used the most and was most convenient was the A1 on a neck lanyard. It was easily accessible, and the low was plenty bright enough for walking around camp/gathering firewood/watering trees. Don't get me wrong, I used the others as well (headlamps are invaluable for cooking in the dark), and the neutral white Quark's color rendition of the vegetation at a distance was superb, but a little light around your neck is a nice and convenient thing to have.
I just put the A1 back on my keychain and heard it whimper, sad that it's not going to be used as much as it was this weekend, at least not until the next camping trip.
