[pct-l] LED Hiking Lights, Etc.

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

A couple of other things I found at  MoonTrail.com that might interest you.  
They have super light headlamp  coming in at 1.6 ounces with batteries.  See 
_www.moontrail.com/accessrs/a-hd_lmp/pt_scout.php_ 
(http://www.moontrail.com/accessrs/a-hd_lmp/pt_scout.php) .   It is the Princeton Scout Headlamp.  They 
also have some outstanding  pictures of it.  In the narrative it says the LED 
bulbs last around 10,000  hours.  I did not know that.  REI.com has it as item 
number  736938.  If you did not use  the strap, the lamp weighs 1 ounce.  You 
can just clip it on your clothes,  etc.  
 
For you folks in the sub  atomic Extreme Ultra Light crowd, I recommend the 
Princeton  Tec Pilot LED Light.  REI.com item number 715190.   It comes in at 
.28 ounces or around 9 grams.
 
Also,  MoonTrail.com have some emergency tinder to start a fire at  
w_ww.moontrail.com/accessrs/a-emerg/fire_starter.html_ 
(http://www.moontrail.com/accessrs/a-emerg/fire_starter.html) .   It is super light at .1 ounce or about 3 
grams per unit of starter.  I  guess it could be a good thing to have in your 
emergency kit.
 
Speaking of fire, they also have  the Essential Gear Windmill and Delta 
lighters at super light weights.  See  them too.  I like the bright orange colors, 
but they are on back  order.  Again, the pictures they have are outstanding of 
the product  items.
