I like your style, brother, but I think I'd have a bit more in a pit full of vipers. Times two on the lights, times three on the knives, plus one on the machete, plus two on the flame thrower, the hand grenades, and the machine guns. Who's got the kevlar?
I, too, subscribe to the "one is none" philosophy. I have at least one light on me - usually a keychain light or a SF Titan Plus - and a bored C2 in my courier bag. If I'm going out for the evening, I will usually have my ZL SC600 IV Plus in my jacket pocket.
As a fire warden in my office building, it's usually an uneventful but, sadly, a necessary job these days... But, I did have one instance when I did have to use my flashlight. On day a few years ago, the fire alarm went off in the building. I thought it was just a drill but, as usual, I grabbed my bored SF 6P w/ M60W (my edc at the time) and did my usual sweep then headed to the staircase. Lo and behold, someone came running up to me in a panic and told me there was smoke in the other staircase.
I made my way over, tested the door and doorknob for heat, opened the door slowly to see the stairwell full of a gray haze and heard people above me in the stairwell in a panic. I tasked the first person coming down the stairs with checking the other staircase to confirm it was clear, then pulled out my 6P, shone it up the side wall and told people to come to my voice. The person I tasked did not return so I started gathering people on my floor's hallway, tasked another person with keeping them there and I quickly went to confirm the other staircase was clear. After confirming, I returned and told everyone to make their way to the other staircase. After waiting and redirecting 2 more groups of people, I then took a pause to assess what was going on. It was a heavy gray, wet haze coming from a lower level but it wasn't smoke.
Turns out, a pipe burst in the basement level and steam just shot up 10 floors in the stairwell of the building. Perhaps, that was very lucky for us.
But, after that, it showed me that I need to always have at least 1 flashlight - and preferably 2 - on me.
