[pct-l] Night Hiking Light Trick

[Matthew Edwards]

Hey, Y'all!
I am up here night hiking on the Hat Creek Rim mile1395 of the PCT.
I just discovered something about headlamps. I was stumbling along because the brown rocks stuck in the brown trail cast no shadows while the headlamp was above my eyes(forehead).
I wrapped the lamp(Petzl Zipka) around my neck instead tucking it upside down between my Adam's apple (Hyoid Bone) and jaw. The result is just enough of a shadow is cast behind the "trip" rocks in to trail so I don't die.
Maybe Y'all knew about this but it's new to me.
Anyhow I got a few more hours to go before I allow myself to drop.
Cheers-Iceaxe
