    Dad and Daughter Project

    She is. Since she was a newborn I read every night with flashlights, and almost every night walk in the woods or on the lake in the winter. She will be the rare woman in the hobby.

    I appreciate the feedback! I do have a tri pod, I need to actually plan it out next time!

    Dad and Daughter Project

    Hi there, Don’t expect much, lol, my daughter has been wanting us to make videos of our adventures for years so finally I’m making it happen, albeit not polished since it’s our first video. What you see is a Malkoff MD3 with a Hound Dog XPL head. Setting one (by having the head slightly...

    The Malkoff Front Porch

    I’ve thought on ponying up for HDS but don’t know if it’ll serve my needs well I.e. the turn style lumen setting. Seems cumbersome if in gloves or have other things in hands.

    The Malkoff Front Porch

    I drank the kool aid w/ them. Price point for what you get is insane. When I first got into real lights I’m so glad I didn’t do with some of the Chinese manufactures. I now have extra pieces for my lights for the few amount of parts that might fail at some point. I only like reliability in...

    The Malkoff Front Porch

    I have 4 Malkoffs and use my lights in some rugged conditions. It’s funny I was so disappointed in my 1 xaa when it first arrived. Not only is this my most used, and dynamic light but it’s the toughest. So much so it went through a wash cycle and came out shining bright. I’ve abused this thing...

    if i replace them weekly are alkines safe?

    Freaking alkaleaks man never again only in shoddy kids toys. To me lithium seems to give me the brightest/highest voltage output for AA I guess everyone’s miles vary

    Probably a simple answer/cold weather help!

    Thanks man, I appreciate the effort, I have technically run lithium primaries with the metal md3 body I have, I just would need to buy or trade for a lower output drop i like that light even if it’s for back up, the other night my md3 went out in -8 weather with my kid, luckily I know my land...

    Probably a simple answer/cold weather help!

    I have several lights, so I can rotate while hiking, however the headlight with a remote battery case might be helpful as well for over night excursions outside. To the person who said they use a hound dog in single digits and no fussing i don’t know what they do but I’ve used m60 head and hound...

    Cells def not dead I have like 18 lions all rotated I think a plastic body might be needed

    Probably a simple answer/cold weather help!

    I honestly didn’t even think of metal vs plastic for application… having a kid kills any critical thinking skills I’ll tey the brand mentioned see if it has tangible effects

    Probably a simple answer/cold weather help!

    I’ve noticed on low draw modes it’ll last along longer, mittens for my torches do nothing in this weather, only having in on an interior pocket (under my overalls) for a while fixes this… my primary lights handle this better I wish there was a torch for cold weather but it seems no one has any...

    I have two protected 18 500s in there maybe I should get some unprotected cells?

    Probably a simple answer/cold weather help!

    I do have a head for the MD three that doesn’t draw quite as much that I can use lithium but the runtime still won’t be great… I should probably think about buying a even lower drawing head for the MD three to use for extreme cold situation see if that helps
