Hi! As someone who doesn’t use flashlights often at all I’m quite curious how often you actually use flashlights. Are they like an everyday carry?

I hike a lot, and at night too, and I really hate when people use flashlights. It makes it very very difficult to see things and I think makes hiking more hazardous. I think it makes sense to have one for emergencies, but its really important to just be comfortable in the dark outside.

The headlamp I take hiking has a red light which I think is a decent compromise
