I have tried a Petzel Tikka and now use a Princeton Tec Fuel 4 and both seem to be pretty good units, easy on batteries and very reasonably priced. Wondering what other units guys use and since we are on the subject of lights what is a good flashlight-seems to be a ton of new LED versions out...
Thanks everyone. I did bring my Leatherman Wave with on my first DIY backcountry elk hunt-only used it once to cut off a branch to hang my bow and that was it. I do like REDMTN's idea of a mini tool-seems like the best compromise as I always like to have a pliers handy-
Picked one up last night a Cableas-very pleased overall. How good are the Garmin mapping chips? The US Topo 100K seemed to get decent reviews on Amazon and the region specific ones seem to get a bit better reviews.
Wondering what everyones thoughts are on the value of a Leatherman in the backcountry. I have a Leatherman Wave-is it worth the 8.5oz in your backpack?
