dudes rock
It’s both parts dorky and endearing to see people getting so excited for getting to show off their hobby.
When I was younger there was a while where there were a lot of power outages for a couple hours. I wouldn’t wish anything more than an hour of power down to anyone. The night sky was dope, tho
Such a rush when you’re finally able to help people with something you’re prepared for that most people aren’t. A huge storm hit the place I was living a few years back and took out power and data lines. It was so exciting to be able to help people clear downed trees out and restore services.
Dude where did you get that flashlight bro
I started with a handful of Convoy S2s from AliExpress, and spread out from there. The Wurkkos FC11 is the current one-good-flashlight recommendation by the flashlight sub. Arbitrary list of popular lights
YES DO IT. But they’re not joking about the fires. And the UI takes time and effort to memorize.
Do you have a list of good red lights? I don’t want to fuck up wildlife when I’m trompimg around at night
I use the skilhunt h03c rc when I need red, but it looks like it’s discontinued.
Also, Hank from intl-outdoors has all the flashlights custom built for the purchaser, so you can just get anything in red. I like the Noctigon K9.3 with a warm main channel and a sst-20 deep red second channel. A few button clicks will toggle the light from white to red, and the deep red sst-20s are a super great red color.
I went to a bachelor party at a cabin in the woods a few weeks back and everybody damn near lost their minds when we were starting a fire and I pulled out a headlamp and the blowker, which is a hybrid poker and bellows. If I’m going somewhere and there’s a possibility that I will have to start a fire, those two things are always in my bag. I may not be a dad, but I have very powerful dad vibes.
i mean if you spend 100 pounds on some wierd iron stick and carry it all up the mountain those damn kids should better let you fucking use it !
