Flashlight Enthusiast
a friend of a friend who is a forest ranger here is doing me a big favor, and i'd like to thank him by buying him the obligatory flashlight for a gift thing we flashaholics do to spread our luv.
requirements aren't too strict... just a couple:
1) impressive runtime
2) affordable/can be replaced without paying your rent late
alkalines would be the safe way to go, but to be honest, i have no idea regarding his financial background. i'm pretty sure he could afford lithiums and wouldn't mind the idea if he could get runtime longer than a 3C Maglite offers.
brightness, i have no idea of his preferences in that area. but we all know that you can find a light surprisingly useful when it's not what you might've been looking for originally.
that's why i was seeking opinions actually. from anyone who is a forest ranger, friend of a forest ranger, or has extended work experience in the woods including duties similar to that of a forest ranger, etc. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
he also helps his step-father tap tree's for pure Maine maple syrup (we got the last tap this year! mmmmmm), and lives out in the middle of nowhere (his wife commutes almost an hour and works with my mother).
so what do you think?
