Nga whats the go with all the batteries...especially the big D? size ones?
Yeah agree.
Would ditch the huge light and batterys and take a small led lenser+ solar charger and still save on weight and room.
How things have changed eh. There are enough batteries there to have fueled the national grid for a week back in my day.
Bought a zebralight headtorch that runs on a 18650 battery. Miles lighter and brighter than the Lenser H14 I used to carry. Huge flood beam but not a spot. Got one of their torches for that, carry it for longer distance light and as a backup. Also runs on a 18650.
It's my camp torch, it's a beast, fuck carrying it around though, I've got a LL 7.2 head torch and a Another small one in my belt, the beast stays at hut the bats are in the thing before I go
Ah I see the Mag light now....
I get around 4 trips of 3 hour walking in pitch dark out of my H7 ( on standard cheap shit batteries) and still light to spare but I change them then cos I hate doing that shit in the dark...
My garmen 60 somthing will go two days on a pair of batteries left on in my pack or nearly a year just turned on to mark camp or a wallow or clearing etc.
I am not suggesting not taking spares but maybe only one set of spares and a bit of conservation may save you some weight and bulk, after all you could easily spend a grand to save weight elsewhere.
Likewise
got me one of those zebralights, used it for half an hour last saturday and quite like it so far
Along the same vein as this thread, sick of my army surplus goretex bivy and cheap fly, looking for a solo tent whats on the market now (old thread)?
If I had the money, double rainbow tarp tent

use google and buy online from the states,
Plenty of options out there, 1 of many.
Best to get a 2 man tent if going lightweight, not much more weight and more room for your gear.

Important to never let poles snap together when assembling, esp carbon poles. Also be careful with the alloy spigots, don't let them slide out of position, this causes point loading on the carbon pole sleeve and leads to explosive fracturing.
Cheers
