Ok,
I have a dachshund I love dearly and a month or so ago I took her out for a walk at night and she saw a bunny and took off running and pulled the leash out of my hand. She only ran about 100 feet, and I got her back in about 30 seconds, but I decided I never wanted that to happen again. That is what started my immediate interest in using a flashlight for all future night dog walking. My entire life previously I had preferred to let my eyes adapt to the darkness and not use a flashlight ever.
So now I have several flashlights and my favorites now are an Olight S2 Copper Baton and an Olight M23 Javelot.
What tips and tricks do you veteran experienced night dog walkers have for a noob. Do you point the light ahead or at your feet? Do you use very low lumens or high lumins?
Any suggestions or stories are welcome. Thanks!
