One thing I've learned over the years.....
If you don't use a headlamp....our eyes adjust "pretty well" to the low light....especially with any appreciable moonlight available.
I go out many times without a light....and I go early.
I agree, I have walked my woods enough to know where I'm at, even in the dark. I always carry a light, but I only turn it on if I hear scary noise
