Survival torch

Features of a survival flashlight

Survival flashlights need to adhere to a couple of characteristics. First of all you need to pay close attention to the weight. Ideally, you want a torch that is as light as possible because you carry the torch with you for a long time. It is also important to pay attention to the burn time of the battery. Nothing is more annoying than a dead battery or battery change in the dark. Tip: bring a spare battery with you or CR123A batteries. Especially if you are nowhere near civilisation and don't have a power supply at hand. A really robust survival torch is water- and dust-proof. For survival, you want your torch to keep functioning during different weather conditions. Finally, red light is a very useful light feature for survival. Your eyes are less sensitive to red light, keeping your night vision intact.

Features of a survival head torch

The main advantage of a head torch is the fact that you will have both hands free. Besides the head torch's weight, burn time and batteries, also look at the headband. Head bands with an extra stripe over the middle of your head offer extra stability. This way, you'll be sure that your head torch won't slide or become uncomfortable.
