Hi, do you guys carry a flashlight when you are hiking? I am planning a hiking this summer holiday, and want a flashlight. Do you have any suggestions? I searched some flashlight brands such as sure fire, streamlight, fenix, tank007, etc. do you know what is better?

i say headlamp way better than any flashlight. I recommend the UF-H2 Cree AA on ebay. it's a very good light for they money. make sure to not use on brightest setting as you'll only get about 75m battery life. on the lowest setting you'll get hours. there is aslo different version with different batteries, but i like the very common aa version.
