A knife, some rope and a decent flashlight. When it comes right down to it, these are tools that a guy can really use. As for the latter of the three, a good choice may be these new “Daylite” superbright torches from Duracell. Besides a sturdy all-weather design, the Daylites feature TrueBeam technology that uses “both a lens and a reflector to capture and project up to 100 percent of the light,” which they claim significantly enhances brightness. Plus, a 3:1 zoom eliminates the annoying dark spot typical of most flashlights.
Duracell will be offering the Daylite in three varieties: the 80 lumens AAA / AA versions (both US$25) and the powerful 160 lumens CR123 version (US$35) beginning this month at drug and hardware stores. Duracell seems to be aiming at the MagLite market with the Daylites, but it remains to be seen whether the performance justifies the price tag. [Duracell]

I own two of these torches and i havent used my mag lites since, i havent even bothered to convert them to LED either, for their potput and size / weight their pretty good, i just dont know about their water resistance in the head,, but the rear seal is pretty decent. Also i cant justify buying Energiser torches as their quality is nowhere near duracel in the LED game.
