What lights you\'d take on a long (camping) trip?
Hi all,
I just got back from Freewheel, which is a 400+ miles week long bicycle trip across Oklahoma.
Ran into BentheadTX, who was wearing a clearly modded maglite on his helmet. We had big time fun talking LED's for the trip. He's got the brightest BB500 R2H in minimag, toasted my MM+ R2H firefly /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
The second night after riding 70 miles with a high of 105 degrees. A major wind storm with 90mph+ winds blew thru the campground. It flatten out most of the tents. Mine survived the winds due the stable design of my tent. The time to go tent shopping was right after that storm, looking at the tents that survived.
People were running all over for shelter after their tents were flatten. One woman carrying her baby was lifted off the ground by the winds. Thank goodness they good off with only scratches.
The row of porta pottys blew over with someone trapped inside. Wheww... I bet that guy stunk. I heard he was yelling for help for sometime.
Needless to say my LED lights were put to use in that night. My two boys ages 11 & 15 were with me in the tent, they were EDC infinity ultra's and ArcLS first runs.
I did bring also bring in my backpack, Arc4+ and LSHP. But my EDC firefly almost never left my neck with arcAAA w/spyderco mini attached as a backup.
What lights would you bring on a long camping trip?
Thanks,
CY
