Default RE: What small flashlight do you carry.

I used to use the mag lites but seemed they always needed new batteries or bulbs.
Now I use the LED models. The bulbs last forever and the batteries seem to last almost forever also. A major plus is when the batteries do start to wear out they do so slowly so you can replace them long before you are left in the dark.

Maglites are fine if you don't use your flashlite much but if you are hiking 3 or 4 hours a day back and forth to your hunting site across country in the dark the Led lights are the way to go.
I also always carry two small flashlites and a headlamp at all times.

Nothing worse than being 5 miles up the mountain at dark and having your flashlight fail you. Makes for a long night and potentially life threatening.
