Flashlights
Im curious what type of flashlights others use. Anyone use the Surefire brand? I have several of the surefires, my favorite by far is the U2 Ultra and the E1L outdoorsman.
The E1L is great because of its size and it lasts so long just off of one battery.
I usualy carry both flashlights on me.

RE: Flashlights
I hate to admit it, but I'm as much a flashlight junkie as I am a knive junkie.
Difference is I am always searching for the best flashlight for my particular needs and with knives well, if I like it I buy it - whether I have a job for it or not. LOL
For my outdoor needs Browning has really stepped up and fufilled all my expectations. Browning stock went up last year when I sank some cash on a good "collection". Here's some of the ones I bought.......
Model 5151 has 2 red LEDs, 2 blue LEDs, 2 white LEDs and a 6V Xenon bulb. It it a great Jack-Of-All-Trades.

Model 5451 has just a 6V, 5 watt LED that is BRIGHT & FLOODING! Will really light up a good size area & is plenty blinding.

Had to pick this one up last week for it's simply intense brightness! Alot of light in a small package. I carry this one daily though because I like it's added value of a non-lethal carry weapon due to it's length and durability. 9V Xenon bulb. Quite, quite bright.

RE: Flashlights
SureFire with out a doubt. I have the Outdoorsman EL2 & would hate to not have it in my pack.
My Dad could not believe what I paid for a flashlight, then after a little rodeo with the horses on a hunt in the wilderness of Alberta & we were stuck in the woods walking out at night. We finally made it to the truck at midnight & right after it got darkI asked my Dad how much he would give me for the Surefire
It was nice to know it would run all night if needed.

RE: Flashlights
Depending on what I plan on needing .
I either carry a StreamLight 4AA or a Streamlight Scorpin
The 4AA seams to last forever on a set of 4AA
But now were as bright as the 2 123 batterys in the Scorpin
