This thread is asking about EDC - on body - not in a pack - right?
Yep, and specifically wilderness as opposed to urban. Basically I've been trying to think through some of the choices I make in what I bring with me when I head out to the woods.
My usual EDC is a Fenix E01 and it's a good, bullet-proof design. It holds up well to pocket carry and really does anything I need in an urban environment. Typically, when I head to the woods I just shift it from my key-ring to a lanyard around my neck.
But, looking at my options, I am thinking of shifting to something like a simple
MEC Turtle light which provides a longer battery life plus a flash option while trading off in the durability department.
I was just looking for other thoughts on what the important features are in a backup light.
