3 BATTERYS NOT 4!
Anyone looking for a unique headlamp for EMS stuff, look at OLight H05 headlamp, has a secondary switch you can turn on and off by waving your hand in front of the headlamp. Good for not having to touch it but still be able to turn it on and off when you don't want to blind everyone but you got the wet stuff on your gloves…
Can you make a video about the FOXSeal(the company which made CELOX made seals)?
I have to wear a hard hat at work all day, these come with a rubber band that works awesome with hardhats. I can't say enough good things about this LED model, the halogen are no bueno.
This is a great light for around $30
What happen to your Yeager video? Did YT delete it?
streamlight is GREAT stuff! but im pretty sure a light is one of the FIRST things people carry
Very good advice! I'm amazed by how many people still don't carry a flashlight on them, even people who should really know better. If you carry a gun you should also carry a light, and, even if you don't carry a gun, you should still carry a light!
I keep a compact Black Diamond headlamp stowed in each of my first aid kits, and I use lithium batteries rather than alkaline batteries. Anything electronic that you don't use on an everyday basis should be used with lithium batteries. I can't tell you how many times I've had a $50 or $100+ piece of gear die because I cheaped out and used regular alkaline batteries that eventually leaked and killed it! In addition to the headlamp in my FAK I also have at least one or (usually) two flashlights on my person at any given time. They are an extremely underrated piece of kit!
I have one, it's class 1 div 1 rates for explosion atmo and is a awesome addition to my tool kit
I'm always happy to see new rescue gear or medical info on your channel. Those are my favorite topics. Very informative, thanks again!
I'd much prefer one with rechargeable 18650 cells instead.
I use the Streamlight headlamp for work because it is intrinsically safe (no spark). I think there are much brighter, lighter, longer lasting headlamps on the market, but I cant say if they are better. The rubber button comes out over time and can't be put back in. They are big and heavy, but also tough, I have beat the heck out of them( smacking them between my hardhat and steel objects), soaked the in mud and oil, used them in the 16 degree weather and rain. Over 5 years I have had 2, considering how hard I use them in the oilfield they do hold up well. I am a big fan of Streamlight, I carry their stylus pro as an EDC light for over 5 years.
I appoligze for the short "thank you". Most times there is no "time" to converse but I would really like to. You content is always good and genuine. Tell Sootch we miss him but understand the situation.
I have a couple of them yalumi head lamps, the yalumi spark n the spark pro, they work good, i work at night, outside all night, the spark has a narrow beam that is great for reading gauges 20' away n the dark
I also utilize one of them petzel's that recharge, it's good n bright, but expensive, it stays n the bag
don't forget to keep spare batteries in your kit
Thank you.
You want an emergency flashlight to perform when it needs to. Since they're going to be reserved for rare emergencies, the batteries NEED to last. They also need to handle temperature extremes and fluctuations (when laying in a cold or hot car) I'd go for a headlamp with USA-Made CR123A cells. Benefits include higher voltage, greater energy density, lower mass density (lighter weight), ability to operate at both higher & lower temperature extremes, longer shelf life and less prone to leakage/corrosion.
