BrianB, you can still get away with your Mini Maglite. Just buy a NiteIze headband! The NiteIze Headband!! It's the Maglite's best friend.



Unless you plan on wearing a Petzl helmet and do some extreme climbing or other sports, you don't really need a Petzl headlamp...

To preserve night vision and not scare the earthworms you're collecting for your fishing trip next morning, use red cellophane or better, buy the red filters:
