On the run, surviving, needing to see where you are going, signalling, or recognizing threats in the distance, a reliable flashlight with oomph can be of immense value relative to its size. Here are my criteria: For almost every survival equipment purchase, you want dependability over anything else, that is literally its role. The only [ ]
