SOME Boondockers are real DIM LUMINARIES

[B_Pi]

Way off topic - sort of...
Why oh why do some campers ruin the velvety darkness with blazing porch/side lights at night? Please tone it down and direct the light FOR YOURSELVES.
And this is not from Streamers, I know. It is typically the 5ers and other campers with the sun on at night.
Thank you and now we return you to your thread topic...

We do have an image to maintain...Some family trees look more like a stick....

ok, ok, now this is a big deal, flashlights are great but as a few others have posted, for we trailer peeps who need our hands to work, here is what I got in Oct.:


Here is the link for the "shootout"

Beam Test Comparison of Headlamps - OutdoorGearLab

It was not the brightest lamp in the romp but it has an overall feature set that is excellent. Red light, campsite setting- flood, hi setting- spot, uses standard AA batts and is waterproof.

Melody Ranchero, just get you one of these and you can wear it in all those vehicles! They might think you a miner or a Borg but hey, you certainly will have the light!

I never leave home without a variety of flashlights and headlamps. Mostly led's. I prefer the red lights, and like to have lights only as bright as necessary. However, I still carry my old Coleman lantern. It's an old hand-me-down from my dad. I think it's from the early '60s. It's inefficient, dangerous, and difficult to light, but it ties me to family camping trips when I was a kid. I'll never get rid of it.

This little baby is small, uses AAA batteries, and you could seriously land a plane with it, it is that bright.

Found this one at a marina, but they are widely available, for about $10.

Like all good male airstreamers I can light up more stuff.
I have 8 flashlights with me,6 in the trailer and 2 in TV.TV has one Big Maglite and one rechargable Streamlight.
Trailer has one Surefire 1000 lumen tactical flashlight,2 small AA battery Maglites,one BIG flashlight that uses LOTS of D batteries,one tactical light on my Glock 23 and one on my Benelli auto loading shotgun.
I now can light up the world, the bad guys or bears.

Doug believed that real men like flashlights, pocket knives, and handguns.

Where do dogs fit into this list?

The reason why men are attracted to all of these items are to fill all of the pockets in our pants, shirt and jacket. This also explains why most men wear the same clothes for several weeks at a time, as it takes so long to empty their pockets. Women have purses. Men have pockets.

...And since you are wearing a belt to hold your pants up... why not add a holster, wire cutters to mend barbed wire fence, a Brunton Compass to at least find your camp site and last of all... finger nail clippers in a pocket for trimming line when fly fishing, cutting string on packages, pulling prickly pear needles from themselves and, oh yes, trimming finger nails.

To find all of these items a flash light is required. See... it all makes sense. Doesn't it?

[Lily&Me]

Doug was not a dog man, never having had one as a child. They lived in town, his mom believed dogs belonged in the country.

He always said "I've never had a dog", to which I would respond "no, but a dog has had you".

In fact, more than one dog had him, and he loved Lily especially...and, surprisingly to him, very dearly.

I have one of those and besides it disassembling itself in my pocket, it is one bright LED lamp!
One of my faves in fact and it is kept nearby.
Like many others, I have a plethora of illuminating devices. Don't want to be left in the dark...

You absolutely positively must look at the Dec 31, 2014 Comic Drabble (today's comic) which must have been written just for this post.

Drabble Comic Strip on GoComics.com

Idroba,

Absolutely perfect! Great comic strip! My husband gave flashlights to two friends for Christmas--must be in the y-chromosome!
