So I am a novice hunter and I’m finishing up putting together my gear for the hunt. I’m going backpack hunting for elk during first rifle in CO and I’m wondering what does everyone use for lighting? I’m definitely going to bring a headlamp but I’m also pondering bringing a small lantern.
In everyone’s experience when buying a headlamp should I get one that also has red/green lighting as well? I get the vibe from things I’ve read that while traveling to where I plan to be before day break to hunt it is best to use a red/green option instead of the bright white LED.
As far as the lantern goes I’m thinking a small lantern like offered by Goal Zero. I would use it at camp after dark and also while field dressing an elk, should I get one at a time where I’ll be working in the dark.
Any info y’all can provide us much appreciated
