I don't know if I would trust any headlamp with a USB-C port on it into a cave... it seems like asking for trouble with it getting filled with mud and other nasty stuff. A similar light is the Nitecore HC50, which is $15 cheaper and has red lights. I have this light and have taken it in many muddy, wet caves and have banged it up something good and it is still rocking strong. The beam is awesome, and while it's only 565 lm this is honestly still brighter than useful pretty much always. I typically run it at the second or third brightness setting anyways. My only complaint with this light is that it is a bit heavy, which isn't really a problem when strapped to an ecrin roc, but can be annoying when not using it with a helmet around the camp.

My favorite light is my Zebralight, the hype for this thing is well deserved. While it doesn't have a red light, the form factor is awesome. It is super light on the head without the hassle of a battery in the back. I think many people will agree that the Zebralight H600 series is one of the best caving lights you can get. (note there four versions of the H600, two LED colors cool and neutral, and two beam spreads, flood and spot)

Nitecore makes a blatant ripoff of the Zebralight that is $30 cheaper. While I don't have one of these, I did have a chance to play with one after a buddy of mine got one and it seems to be pretty neat. Considering how much I like my Nitecore HC50 I'm willing to bet this would be a solid light to get as well. One thing I like about the Zebralight over the Nitecore is that it works with flat-top 18650 batteries so you can bust open old laptop batteries and use the cells to power the light, whereas the Nitecore requires a button top 18650. Not a huge issue but something to consider.


Edit (some more thoughts):

It sounds like you are new to caving, welcome! I would recommend that you attend a local grotto meeting, which I believe for you would be the Southern California Grotto. You may meet some awesome people and it's a good way to get involved in the sport.

Also, with your flashlight purchase don't forget to get an 18650 battery and a charger for it. You may already have these since you have the Nitecore MH25 but I figured I'd mention it just in case. Be careful with the batteries to get a reputable brand because there are a lot of fakes out there. Panasonic makes good batteries, but unfortunately there are a lot of ones that say Panasonic that are made somewhere else and a lot of ones that say other things that are made by Panasonic. Confusing! I got this one and it works great. You can take a risk with cheaper ones, just know they might not last so long. This charger works good for me. I've had both of my lights last for a 14 hour cave trip so the battery life is pretty good.

Okay, here's my novel. Hope this isn't overload! I've never shot aurorae (wish I could!), but I've done a lot of night photography.

I shoot Nikon, so I'm out as far as lens recommendations. I don't think you'd need a particularly fast lens (at least I'd never take these kind of shots at f1.8-f2.8), but I would definitely have a good wide- to super-wide zoom lens, and a good medium focal-length zoom range lens (or a few good primes).

Other stuff:

• Do a lot of night photography in the months before you go: It will seriously clue you in to many of the photographic hazards you are likely to come across, and it will definitely tell you a lot of the things that will come in handy. I'd suggest a few full-moon and new-moon shoots to really get the hang of it.
  
  
• Definitely have a remote trigger, preferably one with a timer, but a watch with timer or a stop-watch would work well as long as you're near the camera when the timer goes off. Wandering is easy to do when you have shots in the range of minutes and you're out all night. If you can just set the camera itself to do 30 second exposures (and you like that), all the better.
  
  
• Keep a good number of batteries on you, and if you're in serious cold, keep the ones not in use inside your jacket to keep them warm until needed. Serious cold (like around or below freezing) will reduce the normal shooting time of your batteries. Long exposures take a lot of juice, so make sure you have enough in charge in your battery to go the distance on longer shots. Re-warming low batteries up in your jacket may give you a bit more time for shorter shots.
  
  
• Get a red headlamp, if possible, so you can see in the dark and not blow your night vision (or someone else's). Black Diamond makes a great Spot light that can be switched from white light to low-level red. Or, you can get a keychain light for cheaper that might do the trick.
  
  
• I found that a double-axis hot-shoe level is also very handy to have for keeping the camera level, but they can be pricey little buggers.
  
  
• HeatMax hand (or other) warmers in your gloves or pockets are fantastic on super cold nights. They are completely safe and non-toxic, and last for a while. You can even re-vitalize them a bit by shaking them when they cool down.
  
  
• I'm sure you have the cold-weather gear covered, so to speak, but a beanie or some other warm head gear will be very welcome, and you'll lose heat a lot less quickly with it.
  
  
• Long exposure noise reduction is your friend and a curse. It will reduce sensor noise that is inevitable in long exposures, but it will also probably double the exposure/processing time (it's a long explanation). It's a must for very long exposures, though.
  
  
• However... You might find this article useful: Bodie Night Photography: 5D Mark II Wide Angle Lenses and Noise Reduction
  
  
• Camera shake: Okay it's elementary, but obviously don't touch the camera or tripod while it's shooting a long exposure. I say this because it's easy to forget when you're out for a while. This is one reason a remote is a good thing, even if you're shooting less than 30 seconds in Manual or Bulb.
  
  
• In windy situations, you'll get some camera/tripod shake. You can help this by weighing the tripod down from the center post with your camera bag, etc.
  
  I definitely welcome corrections if I screwed up or missed something.
  
  EDIT: Bogged story down further with more plot lines. The love interest becomes a sparkly vampire. Sorry.

1. I have an intro posted and have gifted before.
   
   
2. My tip would be to start a spread sheet, half for your gifts to others and half for your items received. Try to keep to keep them equally as long so you are gifting as much as you are receiving! It is hard to keep track of sometimes, but a spread sheet will help you know if you thanked everyone that deserves a thanks. Thanks are important, since these are strangers giving you things you want from your wish list. I feel like thanks are super important.
   
   
3. I take a bath and read a chapter in a book. I do this almost every day anyway and I keep separate books by the bathtub for just this purpose. Books that are easier to just pick up and start and get into really fast. My Harry Potter books are by the tub so I can read a chapter while soaking in bubbles, for instance.
   
   
4. These are my dogs this morning and it makes me smile.
   
   
5. I just busted my head on ice while trying to skate as I can on ice skates as I do on roller skates. I am a pretty good ice skater so I was actually surprised I fell so badly. Whew. Still recovering.
   
   
6. I want this headlamp so badly. It is a $4 add on and it will help in the woods so I don't have to fumble for a flashlight.
   
   
7. Ella is getting a big girl crib!

So this is going to slightly exceed your budget but it'll be one of the best options in terms of raw power and great performance.

So first is the NW Thrunite TH10 but this light concerns me because its reflector is slightly large giving it a tighter hotspot which isn't quite ideal for hands on projects. The head does come off so I'm thinking this would work to convert it to a mule light by taking out the reflector. (Mule means a flashlight with no hotspot which is ideal for hands on work.)

It might seem redneck in a sense but it actually makes the light have dual purpose. As is the light is more ideal for walking/hiking where you need light further away from you and then you could take the reflector out to convert it for closer applications. Hopefully someone can confirm my theory on their TH10. ~wink wink, nudge nudge~

My 2nd recommendation would the Nitecore HC50 which seems cheaper but it doesn't come with a battery or charger(trust me on these). This light is going to be a bit more ideal close up because of the larger reflector. I'm not the biggest fan of the Cool White tint but to most people just getting into high powered flashlights it's not even a concern for them.

Both lights have really good modes and features. It'll be up to you if to decide what's best though for him. Feel free to ask any questions. There are cheaper lights but we'd lose the ability of the 18650 battery feature. These are higher energy batteries that are found in laptops. Although the 18650 isn't much bigger than a AA battery, it holds the energy of over 5 AA Alkaline batteries to give you an idea of how awesome they are.

I do a lot of motocamping. I prefer to stay in camps with bathroom facilities--a hot shower and a modern toilet are great after riding twisty roads all day. I did the primitive thing when I was in my early 20s.

The foundation of my motocamping setup is my riding suit and gear. I often spend more hours riding than sleeping/camping. My suit is the Aerostitch Roadcrafter. In addition to crash protection, this suit really helps you deal with wet and/or cold conditions, while still being bearable in the hot, southern summer. When motocamping, I always take both my mesh summer gloves and my waterproof winter gloves regardless of location or season. I have a Shoei Neotec helmet and Cardo G9 bluetooth headset. I don't listen to music much, but audible GPS prompts and rider-to-rider communication are helpful in unfamiliar territory. Finally, I wear Dainese Nighthawk boots because they are all-season comfortable and waterproof.

  Now in terms of actual campsite gear:
  
  
• Kelty Gunnison 2.1 This tent packs small and light, but is very long when setup. I'm 6'1" and I can sleep without my toes or head touching the tent walls. It also has two vestibules which are handy for gear storage. I purchased the optional tent footer as well. I usually grab some 7 mil plastic sheeting at Walmart for less than $2 to put under the footer--it keeps sand and dirt off your tent and therefore out of your luggage.
  
  
• I prefer mummy-style backpacker sleeping bags. They pack very small and keep you warm, but are fine in warmer climates when left unzipped. Mine is a Kelty Light Stalker, but options abound online. I also use a Thermarest inflatable sleeping pad--essential in cold weather to prevent the ground from making you cold.
  
  
• Browning makes a very comfortable camping pillow that packs fairly small. It's worth the space in my opinion. 10 years ago, I would use my clothes for a pillow, but these days I prefer a pillow.
  
  
• A headlamp is essential. When you arrive at a campsite after dark, a headlamp gives you vision and two free hands at the same time. I prefer this model because it has a red-light mode that will preserve your night vision and is less obstructive to other campers.
  
  
• Always take a knife and a multitool. My multitool of choice is the Leatherman.
  
  
• I carry two JetBoil cooking systems. I take a canister for each. That lets me boil water for food and coffee at the same time, and gives me a backup if one of the stoves breaks. I can santize water if needed with these, and I know I can have a hot meal anywhere.
  
  
• I use Starbuck Via instant coffee. I've done the french press thing, but the via packets are smaller and ready faster.
  
  
• I take Mountain House freeze-dried food packs. They pack very small, and are easy to prepare.
  
  
• Two plastic coffee mugs and some plastic utensils are always in my pack.
  
  
• If cold weather is expected, I take a jacket and a fleece sweater with a neck on it. Layering these with the RoadCrafter keep me comfortable on the bike all the way down into the 20s.
  
  
• I always take a cargo net. That way I can pack my wet towel outside the bags and let them dry while I ride.
  
  
• Likewise, I always take a 60L and 30L dry bag. They are absolutely tiny when empty, but give you options if your bags get full or you have to pack in a hurry. They can always be strapped outside your bag.
  
  
• I have both hard luggage and soft luggage. I very much prefer hard bags due to better fuel economy and improved handling. My hard bags are the Honda OEM bags for my bike. My soft bag is this one. It comes with a lot of straps, and mounting options.
  
  
• Take a first aid kit.
  
  This is all off the top of my head, so I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
  
  Here's an imgur album with a few of these things visualized.

He'll look goofy, but it will help him stay warm. They also make summer gear that's really helpful at wicking the sweat away and keeping you cool.

A portable charger is also a great idea. If he's out there using a spotify playlist, his phone is going to lose charge quickly. Speaking of spotify, if you share a playlist, you can add great songs you find at any time, which can be a nice (or funny!) surprise.

Also, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NIOCZIK. Has been helpful at times to see house numbers or walking up unlit walkways.

A miniature sewing kit. When you’re running missions outside, clothes tend to get ripped, and with only limited numbers, life can get rough. A sewing kit helps.
Spirarcha chili sauce. If your soldier likes spicy foods, send them this. It’s spicy, it has flavor, and it will last them a few months.

Socks and underwear. Send them hiking socks and replacement pairs of underwear. Clothes tend to get gross and if they don’t have laundry, sometimes it is for the best to toss out old underclothes and wear new ones.

Beef jerky.

Trail mix of various types.

Great ideas for one-time gifts. These range from relatively cheap, to pricy and are a great surprise to a soldier stationed anywhere. I’ve included links to the products to give you an idea of what they look like, though don’t take those links as the only/cheapest place to find them:

Adjustable two-point sling. On base they have to carry around a weapon everywhere, and on mission they’ll be going some serious distance with it in their hands. If they are still using an Army-issue plain sling life is going to get a bit annoying. An adjustable two-point sling makes things more convenient and lets them ready a weapon to fire without an awkward movement on a mission. Ignore this if they are using a machine-gun, because those use heavy duty slings. Various companies make these, I prefer the VTAC, but they are all similar in make.

Surefire Earplugs. On mission, soldiers are supposed to wear earplugs, but many don’t because its uncomfortable and often all they are issued are cheap low qualifty plugs. Surefire earplugs conform to the shape of the ear and they are designed to allow someone to still be able to hear conversation level noise while protecting from high level noise. These are great.

Head-Loc helmet straps. One of the greatest pains is a helmet that won’t stay secure. The Head-Loc straps stay tighter and make the helmet so comfortable that you forget you’re wearing it.

PMAGs. Magpul plastic magazines, or PMAGs are high quality replacements for metal GI magazines. Army issued metal magazines are often used for years past the date that they should be retired and they are prone to feeding issues (I won’t get into the details) and PMAGs fix many of those issues and give a soldier more confidence in their equipment. A combat load is 7 magazines, so don’t feel the need to buy more than that, and even one or two PMAGs is greatly appreciated. Ignore if they are using a machinegun.

Head-lamp. Walking around an outpost at night is tricky and Afghanistan can get dark, a head-lamp is a great help to keep your soldier from stubbing their toe or walking into barbed wire. Get only with some kind of red or blue light filter.

Mechanix gloves. Soldiers need to wear gloves on mission and they tend to get torn up, a replacement pair of mechanixs gloves is a good choice.

Great, super light, can hold in hand for better trail illumination or clip on to a hat for hands free.

Awesome headlamp. Super light, lots of levels and a red light and lockable. Get it from Litesmith.com with the shock cord band for an even lighter option.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077Z3LNX9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Q3l2CbTEV8FDE

I have both and love both.

I picked up a Black Diamond Sprinter last year and it's perfect for my needs. Little on the pricey side but super reliable and I love that it's rechargeable - no batteries needed! There are better options if you're going to be running a lot of really technical trails in the dark or if you need it to last for hours, but as a mostly-road runner who just needs something for early morning/late evening training runs it's great.

Elf C1

I’ve been on this subreddit for about a month and I see that a lot of people have this light it look interesting an I was looking into buying it. If I could win it that would be great. If anyone knows any thing a bout the elf c1 or another great headlamp I would be glad to hear.

Thank you and happy 70k

My carlight is a Skilhunt H03 - (link to review) It's currently $32 on sale from gearbest but it's also on US amazon for $45 if you want it soon. It's a right angle light that takes 18650 batteries or 2 CR123A batteries. It can be worn using the headband, or held, or attached to a part of the car using the magnet on the tail. If you get this light, use 2 CRA123As as they can sit for a decade untouched. Just be sure to loosen the tailcap before you store it, since the flashlight itself has a small amount of passive battery drain while off that is an issue when you're speaking about multiple years.

Rechargable lithium batteries don't like the cold, and non-rechargable AAs tend to leak, so for a light you're going to just toss in your glovebox, consider using non-rechargables.

Even if you don't go with the H03, you can buy lithium AA batteries in hardware stores and toss that in your car flashlight and they won't leak on you and will turn the light on just fine a decade from now.

Edit: AA sized suggestion is the Thrunite T10 II. It's around $20 and runs on AA or 14500 (3.7V rechargable lithium AA sized battery). The NW (neutral white) version is recommended as it's closest to pure white rather than a harsher blue light.

Same suggestion as before, if you're going to toss it in a car buy some lithium AAs (non-rechargable, 1.5V) and twist the tailcap a little before storage so the parasitic drain (or accidental turn-on from a feisty pothole) doesn't get you over the course of years. It has a magnet too, which I find super useful for a car light.

High-end option:

Zebralight SC600Fd Plus

The key points relative to your request are the color temperature and color rendering index. 5000K color temperature is a very close match to direct sunlight. CRI is a measure of how colors look relative to a blackbody radiator of the same color temperature. At 5000K, it's essentially a comparison to sunlight. The SC600Fd has a CRI of 93-95 out of a possible 100, which is about as high as LEDs get.

There's another hiccup though: Zebralight's site shows that it's unavailable for order right now. It's a new model, and production is still ramping up. I'm told they may be trying to avoid a backlog of preorders, but it's hard to estimate when it will be available.

Budget option:

Astrolux S41 - also get the 18650 battery tube as the stock configuration takes 18350 batteries with about 1/4 the capacity.

This looks like a pretty nice light, but it's had some QC issues. This, I believe is the older version with less severe issues. If you find one made of stuff more exotic than copper and black-anodized aluminum, avoid it for now. The driver is also considerably less efficient than Zebralight's on lower modes, brightness decreases as the battery drains and there's no thermal sensor to keep it from overheating.

The good news is it still has a ~5000K color temperature and over 90 (typically 93) CRI. Here's a review with measurements.

Batteries

In either case, Sanyo NCR18650GA batteries are a good choice and reasonably priced. The Nitecore F1 charger is very compact and also acts as a USB powerbank. If you want two slots and a display, the Nitecore D2 is a good deal.

This is a very popular headlamp around here lately. I've had one for a little while and I'm really impressed. You can fashion a UL headband that works surprisingly well like this. My NU25 with headband is only 1.06oz

If you carry a backup battery bank then a rechargeable light is a great way to go since you can be assured you'll never run out of power. You can still use them as they're charging if it dies in the middle of using it. It's nice to not have to worry about how much juice is left in my AAA or how many backups to carry just in case.

Hey, I literally just bought this and just used it on my first run. Great visibility from the front light- it has a dimmer effect and strobe effect too. The back light also has a few different modes and can alternate colors. Well worth it in my opinion.

​

As far as reflective gear, I own a lot of nike running clothing and I've been told that even though I'm wearing black, the reflective material on my shorts and shirts works very well. I wear the dry fit versions of nike running clothing. Good luck!

i have basically the same thing

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009065J1K/ref=smi_www_rcolv2_go_smi?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true

it's pretty light. my only concerns are that the light assembly is a bit rough so i wear a headband under it and there's a little bit of light leakage which shines a tiny bit in your eyes. not bad at all but i have noticed it. wearing the headband or a hat seems to get in the way of the leaking light and fixes the issue.

it really doesn't move at all on my head and i feel approx 1000X safer on my night runs now. pretty happy with my purchase.

It wasn't as bad as I thought, a single shot and some editing is all it took. I picked up a headlamp (link below) from Amazon and used it in this shot. This particular one allowed me to adjust the width of the light, narrow or wide, and I went with the narrowest setting here. The light was really blue in the original image, I had to edit the beam to make it slightly lighter...and it's still very blue. Overall the shot was taken the same way as other astrophotography images. The night was cool and we had very little humidity, you could do something similar on a clear night. The sharpness and defined look was most certainly a result of a friend keeping their head steady for 23 seconds :)

Thanks for the giveaway!

I've wanted a LED headlamp for ages but keep putting off buying one. If I win I'd love to get one of these.

One day I'll win these giveaways... LOL. Thanks as always for your generosity!

Thanks for another giveaway!

I'd be interested in the this nitecore nu25 (though like you I dislike lights with fixed batteries, the weight will be nice for super long hikes)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX8MJU0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A13BRSR0TJMNLN&psc=1
Thanks for the sweet giveaway. Good luck everyone!!

To clarify, the Nitecore NU25 (Amazon link).

I love it! Super light, rechargeable, very bright, decent battery life, redmode. Perfect for a weekend trip.

I'll recommend the Wowtac A2S NW as well - brighter and way longer battery. It's a little heavier, but that pays off with more battery life (and an interchangeable cell).

I started running in April of this year, but here is the gear I have been running with so far:

• Brooks Adrenaline GTS 16
  
• Feetures running socks
  
• Under Armour Launch Running Shorts
  
• Under Armour Tank Top
  
• TrailHeads Cap
  
• Black Diamond Sprinter Headlamp - for my 5 AM runs during the week. I just got this last week and it is awesome by the way. I run on a very dark rail trail so this is a must.
  
• Bodyglide - for the long runs.
  
• Camden Gear Water Belt I use this to hold my phone/track my runs using Runmeter, and also use it for water on the long runs.
  
  EDIT: Added water belt

Also for the build, if you're stretched for time it might be better to use an elastic head strap and either one that looks the material - or a hybrid: the elastic headstrap is the holder and just glue the leather-looking part onto it, so it's both the perfect size and the leather doesn't have to be able to look on and hold, it just looks like it is.


. Like the one's on headlamps.

ArmyTek Elf C1
Thank you for your generosity I’m sure everyone here appreciates it

Take a look at Astrolux S41. It is $30 on Amazon. XTAR MC1 charger is good quality and $8 on Amazon. I would not buy batteries from Amazon though, get a couple IMR 18350 cells from Mtn Electronics for about $12 shipped making this light well under your budget.

Things you might not like are that it is longer (3.2") than you want and it has a normal reverse clicky tail switch. The light does come with deep carry clip and lanyard. The real draw of this one is the output, 1400+ lumen quad emitter which at this price is hard or impossible to find elsewhere. With a little practice turbo and strobe are readily accessible or the light can be configured to turn on directly into these modes using mode memory.

Regarding using it as an impact tool no light in this price range will be designed to withstand heavy abuse but it does come in a stainless steel variety which would hold up better than aluminum. The steel version is S41S and is often available at Banggood for $35 but currently is $42, still barely within budget if you skip the spare battery. As far as best you can get in this price range, I think this is it.

I'd suggest a Knipex Pliers Wrench (expensive, but very nice to use for a lot of projects) and some spring punches and a head lamp to keep both hands free to use all your other tools.

A pad. If you're expecting cold nights along the way, get an insulated pad. Foam pads and self inflating pads are inherently insulated. If you go with any form of inflatable, blow it up early so it has a chance to cool while you're setting up camp, then make sure you top it off before you go to sleep because the hot moist air you blow in will shrink a bit.

Got stakes? You may want to get a few extra, and get some extra cord too. To save yourself time while setting up camp, go ahead and set up your tent at home and attach the cord to every guyline loop and tie your tension knots. You really want to stake and guy out your tent if it's windy, and especially if you'll be leaving your tent during the day since you won't be around if the weather changes.

No, don't buy a generator. You're on a road trip, so you'll probably get into campgrounds late in the day when there's usually a ban on using generators because of how noisy they are. If you really want power, then pay extra for a site at the campground that has electricity. OTOH, if you're just powering devices that charge via usb, then charge them in your vehicle, and get a power bank if you need extra power in your tent.

Double check the rating on your sleeping bag, especially if it's one of those bulky synthetic bags that cost around $100 or less. They tend to use the lower limit or extreme rating instead of the comfort rating. If you want to take the lazy way, then add 20°F to the rating...so a 20°F bag is actually comfortable at 40°F.

Get yourself a roll of quarters just in case laundromats don't have functioning coin exchangers, and if you're frugal, pack yourself some detergent too.

If you're changing locations every day, and you don't need a hot cup of coffee, tea or cocoa, then you might be better off eating at restaurants or getting to go meals. It'll mean carrying less gear and spending less time cooking and cleaning. Bring snacks to fill in between meals.

You may want to get a flashlight and headlamp. /r/flashlight is the place to get recommendations for lights that are much better than Black Diamond, Petzl or worse. I'll throw out a quick recommendation. Nitecore NU20 or NU25 they have a low setting that's not too offensive to your tent mate if you need to get up in the middle of the night, the high mode is decent, it's efficient, and it'll actually show you the battery life in each mode unlike so many crappy plastic headlamps. There's also the Wowtac A1S.

If you get cold feet at night out there, take a look at your socks. It doesn't take much for socks to be tight enough to restrict blood flow and make your feet colder even if you're wearing extra socks.

The Nitecore HC50 meets all your criteria. However, it's not a favorite around here; the smooth reflector isn't ideal for headlamp use (too throwy for most people), and the design makes it usable only as a headlamp.

A much more popular option around here is the Armytek Wizard, although the superior Pro model is out of budget. The Skilhunt H03 is another popular choice, although only on a coupon code - at the full $50 it's not ideal. These are all much better lights than the Nitecore. However, none of these have red modes.

So, why do you want red light? If you need it for anything other than developing film photos, it's possible you've been misled. The oft-repeated claim that red light preserves night vision is dubious, based on a combination of people misunderstanding why red light was used in darkrooms, and a flawed study done by the US military in WWII. There might be specific situations where it holds up, but on the whole for ordinary people camping or getting up to pee in the night, white light of similar intensity is just as good. And all three of the lights I've suggested include ultra-low "moonlight" modes which will preserve night vision, run for literally months, and still give you proper color vision.

I used my phone for Guthook/camera (and podcasts) so it was pretty much a necessity to be charged before I could leave town... so I made sure my wall-charger, powerbank, and phone were all quick-charge and it made a massive difference for me: I would hit town and put phone/powerbank on charge first thing, do my re-ration etc, then be able to hit the trail again within a few hours with full charge ... whereas I knew other folk who had to stay overnight when they didn't want to.

I got:

• AUKEY USB Wall Charger with Quick Charge 3.0 & Dual Ports (surprisingly large, but worked great.)
  
• Anker PowerCore II 10000 (great, quick charge both in and out. Only 1 port, but I 95% of the time just charged the phone.)
  
• Nitecore NU25 (awesome torch. not quickcharge, but never really needed it)
  
• 2 USB cables (came with the above stuff, I switched one out for a shorter one eventually)
  
• Motorola G4+ (good for Guthook, meh camera but did the job well enough and it was kinda disposable as it only cost $100 unlocked)
  
• iPod nano (I just like music so much while I walk I wanted a backup in case phone started getting low, and this thing is tiny. I actually used it a ton!)
  
  I think 2 ports is enough really, I would just charge the headtorch/ipod when I got the chance or a longer town stay. Ontrail I would kinda start running low if I used the phone a lot for 4 days, and have to be a bit conservy... there's likely better stuff now, but just fyi!
  

Never heard of the light, wouldn't trust it or the battery that comes with it. May not have low voltage protection.

Honestly, I fell in love with the Nitecore NU25 Plenty bright, lasts a long time, has the high CRI option and is very small so it doesn't hit things when you are sticking your head back behind a strut assembly.

Thank you very much, Happy holidays!

Thanks for these giveaways!!! Also your website is great.

Are you specifically looking for a handheld? I've found that a headlamp is actually far more useful when I go camping. I have a Petzl Tikka XP 2 that is my go-to primary camping light. Really good multimode LED with red or white light and a built-in diffuser.

Not sure what your battery preference is, but if you're looking for a sub $50 handheld, I'd recommend the following:

• Foursevens Preon 2 (2xAAA)
  
• Fenix E35 (2xCR123)
  

Hi, I would want the Nu20 CRI recommended from your great site and thank you.

The Nu25 would make a great headlamp for night hikes! Thanks for doing this and congrats!

I'm a huge fan of the Black Diamond series. I like that I can do on-off without having to cycle and it has dim option. Ranges from basic to environmentally sealed.

Thanks! So generous!

This is what I use for late evening runs in the winter:

Black Diamond Sprinter Headlamp

LED Lights wrapped around my arms. (They come with velcro bands to wrap around anything)

I also have a couple Nike Flash jackets and tops, and a few pairs of Lulu reflective shorts that always come with me on runs. I'm sure most running apparel companies have similar reflective gear. I think at a minimum night runners should get the Sprinter headlamp due to the back red flashing light.

I’m going for the ArmyTek Elf C1, I plan on using it for early morning runs and first responder work if I win. Thanks for the giveaway as always!

I wouldn't go crazy and buy all the latest and greatest gear right now, but rather purchase gear as you go. You might find that you don't like running, and end up with a lot of expensive gear. Must haves are obviously shoes and clothes, but I would suggest gear that keeps you safe. If you run at night you will want to have a reflective vest (Example) and a headlamp (Example). After a few weeks of running, you might find what running clothes you prefer, and then you can stock up.

Definitely a headlamp (I like this one). Also, if your phone does IR, you can simply download an app like DSLR Remote instead of carrying around a remote.

I'd like to try the nitecore NU20 I'm a big fan of the tube and tip so a headlamp would fit right in.

Yes please and thank you. https://www.amazon.com/Astrolux-Flashlight-Flashlights-Travelling-Batteries/dp/B01LX8MJU0/

I think this time around I want to try for a Skillhunt H03 in NW. Good luck all!

^ Basically came to post this. LEDs have mostly swept away the other lighting methods- with the possible exception of oil lanterns, which can sit for decades and be ready for use.

You can cobble together an entire solar + battery + charger + flashlight system for $100-150 USD, if you shop around online (which isn't bad, if you buy an item or two here and there). I will also vouch for Anker, they make really good charging gear.

• Solar panel
  
• USB battery pack
  
• USB AA/AAA charger
  
• eneloops
  
• Flashlights: good n' cheap | better | hardcore
  
• Headlamps: simple | fancier

Thanks again for the opportunity!!

Get a right angle flashlight with a magnetic base that can take CR123 batteries. It’ll double as a headlamp and those batteries last 10 years on standby. The magnetic base will stick to your vehicle to aid in repairs, and they take 18650 batteries if you want a rechargeable option.
