I avoid using flashlights at night. It's a habit I picked up at Scout camp when I was on staff. We rarely carried flashlights as we walked from camp site to camp site. If your familiar with the terrain, a path is easy to follow on all but the darkest night. <br><br>In fact, light beams waving in the woods at night is a sure sign of a new camper. In our troop, cat calls of "Rookie!" were let lose whenever a new scout started flashing his light about. The peer preasure worked well to curb the habit, but you had to start all over again when the new Scouts joined the troop in the spring. Sigh...
