[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2591307, member: 69192"] We black bear hunt, and oftentimes black bear hunting will turn into a night time sport. We carry a Streamlight ProTac headlamp, a Protac HL and a Streamlight "Micro Stream" with us [I][U]at all times[/U][/I]. The headlamp stays crumpled up in a cargo pocket and it doesn't take up too much room at all, and it primarily is used if we are looking for a bear, the Protac HL is a great light that we use for just about everything around camp or anything hunting in general. Then there's the Streamlight Micro Stream. This little light is a small flashlight that uses one "AAA" battery that fits in your pocket. I find it a great light to use when coming out of a stand and back to the truck because it illuminates enough to light up the trail, yet does not light up the entire woods like Times Square. The Protac HL is another light that never is out of reach. It is carried in a sheath on our belt so no matter what[I][U] we are not without a good light if it is needed.[/U][/I] And the ProTac headlamp really lights up the woods and is a "great companion" when trying to locate a bear in the brush.
