In another thread I showed a headlamp and flashlight combo used for longer range camping trips.
Nothing too spectacular but maybe someone might have noticed the flashlight is a twisty. This is hardly the first time a twisty light has been part of my longer range kit.
So why the twisty give all the options available to me? Here is my list of reasons. Naturally everyone has different preferences and my suppositions could be wrong.
1. If done right I think a twisty is more reliable than a clicky.
2. Often less expensive. If lost in the woods it hurts less. LOL!
3. Often smaller.
4. Often less bulky.
5. Intrinsically can be locked out. I have never had a twisty turn on in my pack though there probably is a way and it must have happened to someone. That said this is a BIG one for me.
Granted there are other methods of turning a flashlight on or off and changing modes but for the backpack it seems like twisty flashlights keep finding their way into my kit.
