I use a streamlight TLR as a weapon light. It is a high power LED that is as bright as my Surefire G2. Of course it has the 'blue' tint to it but I think it is still just as bright. Definately go with a Surefire or Streamlight.
It kind of sounds like an elementary school playground....no I found it first. But seriously I like t be FTF and there is a "gang" in my area that seems to always beat me.
I only log a DNF if I atually get out and look. If I drive by but don't stop then normally I wont log it. It's really up to you though.
I don't even count up my total DNFs? If I did that I would probably be depressed.
I know how you feel monk, I am twenty something and my twenty something friend that I cached with moved out of the area. I live in southeast Texas so I think we are a little far away.
I know its already been said but I carry a Maxpedition Fatboy Versipack S-type (left-handed). It has a pocket built in for a holster plus more pockets allowing me to carry anything else I might need for caching. Since it rides on the hip it doesn't have the "fanny-pack" look.
Only 62%...I'm disappointed.
As a law enforcement officer if I am wearing pants then yes I have a gun so naturally I cache armed.
No I have never had to use it.
