[pct-l] Magnifier with Light

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

Here is an idea that might be a  little nutty, but I find very useful on the 
trail.  My eyes are not what  they used to be even with glasses.  Sometimes at 
night in the tent looking  at maps or other items, I need some extra help.
 
I got at my local drug store a  credit card size magnifier with a built in 
light.  It is called the Owl  Optical Wallet Light.  It weighs 12g or .4 ounces. 
 Go to  ww.walletowl.com.  It costs $10, which I think is expensive, but it  
works well and is very easy to use.  I would guess it costs 8-10 cents  to 
make in China.
 
Anyway, just an idea for some of  you who need some help with reading.  For 
some reason in the tent at night  my eyes seem to work less well.  I guess it 
is all the napping I do.   :-)
