Headlamp(s)

[dreamingbig]

I also have a couple of Petzls.  I have very good battery life with them.

I use a petzl tikka headlamp they are very bright with 3 led lights, it has a setting for real bright, to a little bit dimmer and has flashing setting though I don't have a use for the flashing. If you want to use the other light intensities you can flip through them real quick at the beginning if not you just turn it on and go and when you want to turn it off just click the little button and it turns right off with out going through the other options that I already mentioned. It runs on two triple 'A' batteries. It has excellent battery life, I have owned this headlamp for three years and it still has its original batteries in it. My brother had used the same headlamp when he was deployed to Iraq and said he used this head lamp everynight and he never had to change his batteries. The thing I like best about it is it has a red lense that can flip up, this way your eyes can adjust to the dark but you can still see just fine when you are working to your hunting spot in the morning. I will see if I can find a link and post it.

I like the energizer ones from wal mart...they are cheap- $15 dollars and they last forever.  I lose them before they wear out!

I carry 2 petzls 

Seriously, not be a smart aleck, but why carry two?  (if I were being a smarty, I would say I only have one head.... ) I have a Petzl which seems to be fine.  I really am curious (always good to pick up good ideas) if there's an advantage to having two headlamps.

You never know , I carry them in my pack , also carry an extra release.     Also if you get an animal down in the dark you can use two diff light sources , diff angles .

Petzl's here...work like a champ and are very durable.  I just found one of mine at the bottom of the washer two days ago.  Works just fine.

OK, that makes sense, thanks.  Nothing fancy.  I carry a plain flashlight as my other light so I don't have to be scared of the dark if my headlamp goes tango uniform.

Search and Rescue always have three!!! They say two will fail!!! I was Archery Elk hunting with my Buddy this year. We were hiking up the Mt. in the dark and my buddies light goes out? (a small mini-mag flashlight) I thought to my self he must want to take a breather.(It's a very steep Mt. and when we stop we turn the light's off.) But instead he says my flashlight just quit working? We still had over a mile to hike in the dark!!! I asked if he had any spare batteries? He said he just installed new batteries? He said do you have spare flashlight in your pack? I said don't you? He said I have never needed two? So I gave him my spare flashlight.
