    Looking for a lantern

    Its been awhile since I posted on CPF and was wondering what everyone thinks of any new LED lanterns out there? I currently own two (old school) Coleman Gas lanterns that I use outside camping, etc. and a Rayovac D lantern I use at home when the power goes out and inside the tent when camping. I...

    single cr123 edc

    See if you can find a Quark mini 123. The company has been sold, but the lights are still around. It is the smallest 123 I know of... It is a twisty, so no tail switch. :(

    I'm retiring my EDC light after 5 years

    I hate when someone does that...now I might “need” a new light...haha.

    Shopping for a new EDC...

    If price is not an issue, buy an HDS. I have EDC an HDS Clicky for more than 5 years, using it everyday, without a single flaw...it works exactly how I expect it to every time. My second favorite is the Foursevens Quark. The company has been purchased and it may be a bit tough to find one, but...

    I'm retiring my EDC light after 5 years

    I’m a huge Quark fan as well. How well does the clip stay on? I have never had luck with lights whose clips are held on through pressure.

    I'm retiring my EDC light after 5 years

    Sorry if I missed it, but why are you retiring the Quark?

    Most reliable: Fenix, Nitecore, Olight, or other?

    Fenix E01 is nearly indestructible. If you are asking about absolute reliably, you must look at HDS, SUREFIRE, OR MALKOFF. I know others will recommend McGizmo, although I have no personal experience with his lights, although it is on my bucket list...

    Foursevens: Research Poll- what do you want to see?

    I have been wishing for a Quark AA in copper for many years. Not brass, not bronze, solid copper...patina and all. Copper is my favorite!

    Clip for my Reylight AAA Copper

    Two questions: 1. I have heard rumor that the Preon clip will fit, but only certain models. Can you confirm which models? 2. Do you know where I can buy such clip? Four Sevens is gone (for now)... As always, thanks for the info.

    New chainsaw...I had to share

    So it has been two months and I love this saw more and more I use it. I have ran about 8-10 tanks of gas with zero issues. I sharpen the chain every tank of gas, but I was wondering how often do you flip your bar?

    Looking for a no-headaches 18650 cell recommendation

    I only use AW and Keeppower cells. Great quality...I have yet to have one fail on me. Now let me find some wood to knock on...

    Recommend me a new EDC light

    I will second both the HDS, which is my edc, and the Malkoff lights. Although you may also want to look at Surefire p60 host with a Malkoff drop-in (I own a number of these and they are great). A little too big for me for an edc, but a great setup. I use them when I hike at night.

    I'm afraid my Nitecore d10 finally died. Can it be fixed?

    Vinh will mod nearly any light for you. He fixed my maritac copper. It cost $40, the same as a new light, but i love the patina on my light so it was worth it to me.

    Cold performance: NiMH vs Li-ion rechargeables

    BTW...we also did the same with the toothpaste and sunscreen...lol

    Cold performance: NiMH vs Li-ion rechargeables

    When I was yonger, we would camp in the snow during hunting season. Our base camp was at 10,000 feet and night time temps would drop to -20 f. I would always place my flashlights and extra batteries in my sleeping bag with me at night to keep them from freezing. During the day, when it would...

    New chainsaw...I had to share

    I looked at used before my purchase of a new 250 and the decent ones were only $75-$100 less than a new one. I agree, unless it was from a friend, I would buy new and only cry once.

    New chainsaw...I had to share

    I have always sharpened by hand with a flat guide (Oregon file), but as this is a “real” saw I was looking into a filing guide...anyone here use a Granberg file guide or something similar?

    New chainsaw...I had to share

    I guess I should get another chain...the dealer offered me one but I have never broken a chain so I didn’t think I needed an extra. Rotation is a great idea...keep the info coming, greatly appreciated.
