    Animal ID with throwers

    Hi fellas, just considering a level of light above my normal requirements for long range spotting things and animals at night. If I take something like a Javelot 2 at 2500lumens and 200,000 CD will I be able to see a pig or human on a hillside at night at 500 yards or so? Feel free to tweak...

    Worst Light You've Ever Owned

    at the time, a armytek wizard headlamp, only because it wasnt what I needed and I didnt understand lights back then. Saw 1000 lumens on the packet or whatever it was, assumed that meant 5x the range of my previous most powerful light a 200 lumen led lenser.😂 was soon educated on candela and...

    Pandemic supply chain in your area

    The great depression is always a favorite in these dicussions and usually Americans and Australians quoting it because its the only calamity in our living memory, and it all worked out. Unlike a lot of Europe we didnt even get invaded in WW2. About 130 countries in the world have ongoing...

    Am I the only one who is a huge mess?

    I noticed a few people I work with saying some things have taken a hit in the last year or two. Forgetfulness, difficulty maintaining attention, spelling errors( I mean I literally just wrote 'spelling areas' instead of 'spelling errors' lol). Pandemic stress related? This isnt a conspiracy...

    Just Blame Putin, seems to be the catchcry for every problem. Here in Australia some one was telling me the price of house insurance rising is also due to Putin. And transport costs which were rising faster the year before he invaded are due to the grain shortage in the ukraine. I guess its...

    Fenix e01 13 lumens model and Fenix Hl23 150 lumens headlamp

    Well I have a Fenix E01 on the way. Hopefully this wont embarass Thaugen for mentioning it, but he has sent it to me as a gift, as in completely free. Loss for words here, very generous. The light will accompany some minimalist hiking adventures with nephews and serve between times on a work...

    Millenials claim to have the most access to information of any generation yet will defend the generation that is forcing them to pay rent until they are 50. I try and point out the teensy weensy problems with that, and then I am told I dont understand the problem. Well okay kids I give up, you...

    Pandemic supply chain in your area

    Pretty much bykfixer, same as the other 31 x 1st world countries. I feel bad for the younger generation. Wealthy genx and boomers just made bank over a pandemic reaction largely designed around them, and the millenials who were already stuck in 2 jobs for a decade to buy a house, are getting...

    My comment about having the money back was flippant yes. Never said the worlds richest are to blame. Just said they profited hugely and some like the international shipping sector put too many regulations aside under the guise of 'pandemic panic'. I agree Capitalism is always the preferred...
