When I took a week long bear hunting trip into the wilderness of New Brunswick, Canada I took three flashlights with me. I took a Surefire M4 body with a KL6 head (for walking out from hunting to meet the guide and for tracking wounded game), a Surefire E2E (for finding my stand in darkness and anytime I didn't need all the light from the KL6) and an Eternalight Elite-Max (mostly used this light at camp as a lantern and to find the porta-potty and toilet paper. also set it to flash pattern and left it hanging over my dead bear so we could find it easier when I returned with the guide and ATV for recovery)
While hunting the Eternalight was in my backpack, the E2E was in my pants pocket and the M4 was stuck down the top of my knee high boots against the outside of my right calf. (surprisingly comfortable)
Now, If you were planning a similar trip what lights would you take? and why?
If I were planning again I would only make one change, I'd swap the bezel on the E2E for a KX2 for extended runtime and no worry about bulb failure and I wouldn't take as many extra batteries. One extra set per light is plenty. Oh....I also took a green laser pointer for safety reasons, so I could signal with it.
