The customer told us that he had used the flashlight every day since the day he bought it 9 years ago. He had used it in his work as a motorcycle mechanic, and later when he worked on a big ship. He also admitted that the flashlight had been dropped from a moving motorcycle at least 4 times, as well as being run over by a car a couple of times. So saying it has had a rough life was not an [...]

Under a blanket of stars, we sat down on the cool sand and leaned back against our backpacks. We each stretched out our weary legs and extended our arms into the sand feeling the little grains dance across our skin. Although neither of us had voiced the thought, as we laid our heads back and closed our eyes, we silently prayed for a scorpion to emerge from the sand and find us enticing enough to sting. Yes, you read that correctly; we prayed for a scorpion. At this point, we were tapped [...]

Our mission is to show some of the many different outdoor activities where having a quality flashlight or headlamp can really make a big difference in regards to the experience and [...]
