| Going camping in a few weeks. I get these at Gun Shows but there not one coming up soon. Where is a cheap place to buy these ? |
|
For chemlights, with an 8hr. or 12 hr. rating. More expensive than an arts store or china mart, but a better product also. |

Quoted:
why not use a flashlight with eneloops? I lept to the conclusion that he is camping with kids A $1 glowstick doesn't turn off and get lost in the dark When it gets lost in the daylight, don't care, it cost $1, less the the eneloops. 
Trust me on this one. |

Quoted: I always stick with Cyalume brand for "serious" use, the cheap party store or walmart brands in my experience aren't as bright and might last 2-3 hours. The Cyalume work as advertised. This. I used to buy the cheap ones for my kid when she was 4 or 5 , until she scissored one open and painted herself and the dog. I thought it was the lulz Mom not so much.  |

Trust me on this one. Not just for kids, because they are great for marking a multitude of things in the woods. You can tie one to the guy wire of your tent, so people don't trip over it while taking a midnight walk to use the bathroom. They can also be used to mark where you want people to use the bathroom, such as the location of your slit trench, 5 gallon bucket, or porta-toilet, whichever you might be using. Or, if you've found something you want people to avoid, such as an ant hill or a hole, you can mark them with chem lights. For these reasons, it's good to have more than one color available. Red for places to avoid, green for places that are ok. Orange, yellow, and blue for other purposes. |
