One of the things you never want to leave home without is a flashlight. You never know what can happen while  ur out on the trail or how long you will be there. In a situation where you are wrecked on teh trail.. what flashlight would you like to have at hand?  

i am going with the Mag lite. it is real heavy but then again that is also why the cops carry em b/c they double as a weapon  

MagLite hands down.

What other flashlight can you run over with a truck, throw off a cliff, drop out of an airplane, submurge in water, and beat someone with and still have it work EVERY TIME? Thats right, the MagLite

(warning.. statements may be overrated..lol)
