I hold it in between my legs and keeps my legs together and waddle through the building. Its a like having a flashlight for a cock.

Depends how I hold it. I prefer the modified saber or RGEI holds:

Oh yeah, the RGEI is also my typical one-handed grip too. Though sometimes I also use the "thumb along spine" hold.

When I use a two-handed grip though, I use this one. It's a little more difficult to maintain good control on one that requires a two-handed grasp.

They make these rubber things that fit over it for when you wanna hold it in your mouth. I mean, unless having the raw material in your mouth just doesn't bother you. I find if i just let it sit there in my mouth for a while I'll start to drool around it.

Give a person a match and they'll be warm for a minute, but light them on fire and they'll be warm for the rest of their life. =)

And the other one I carry at my belt.

A whole series of flashlights hanging from you belt, so that you can spin around really fast and send light in all directions!

I have been exploring for that long that I can see in the dark.

This is a very serious issue that I have with exploring. I only have one flashlight, and I have two hands. If I hold the flashlight in my left hand, then my right hand is empty. And if I hold the flashlight in my right hand, then my left hand is empty. Or should I get two flashlights? And put one in each hand? Or should I just forgo the flashlights altogether?

What are your thoughts on which hand to hold your flashlight in? Got any good flashlight related stories?



This ones easy. Light in one hand BEER in the other, that should balance you out nicely.

Two flashlights in both hands in quite helpful, especially when blinding foes so as to avoid hand to hand combat. Otherwise, tape a smaller flashlight to your maglite, then when said foes attempt to attack you, pummel them to death with your maglite.

Such an important topic and thoughtful discussion!

Serious answer: headlamp FTW!

Also, I do opposite of most explorers: I use my cheaper, dimmer flashlight as my "main" light (left side on carabiner clip) and my better, brighter flashlight as my "backup" (right side in holster).

I suggest you use a headlamp and have both hands empty.


This is what I do.. except I always end up holding onto someone else's flashlight.

I have a very handy place to put my flashlight that leaves both my hands free. However, I have to crab-walk in order to see anything.
