I may try a flashlight build project. I have a few opinions mixed with facts on why made in USA is nearly dead. But that subject is one that causes hard feelings and heated comments. So I will refrain from that. Other than to say Made in USA sometimes costs too much to be justified.
I am currently edcing the Streamlight Macrostream and Streamlight ProTac 2L-X. Testing the ProTac to see how it would hold up for being my SAR light. I don't really buy from Olight anymore. If I do it's mostly the little keychain flashlights to give as gifts. I think they have awesome designs but I was tired of all of mine being so hot in my hand. I will say I do wish that Streamlight was made in America but I guess at least I'm still supporting an American compnay. I don't bash people who buy from china cause that's hard not to do. I've been trying to do it less when I can if that makes sense. I really want to try a Surefire Stilletto and SureFire EDCL2-T.
First, congratulations on the 1,000 subs!
I don't own any olight or streamlight but I have a few thrunite little ones (can't recall the names) but they're aaa and decent $5 lights. I have the lumintop tool AA sticking to my metal lamp and it's a really good flashlight, especially for the money. It runs on a AA, Lithium AA or a rechargeable 14500. The wuben C3 is also a really good light for the money, and it's either rechargeable or 2 cr123's.
I'd love to have that orange olight i3t to put on my esee 4 setup, with the black and orange sheath I got from you. Maybe if you were able to make some kydex for it (hint hint lol) I may pull the trigger on it.
$40-50 is a little high for my budget, although I'd love to have some fenix lights.
As far as strobes, I have no use for it except to mess with my friends, lol.
I'm actually working on a knife in a zombie apocalypse theme. I even made some scales for it that look like zombie skin. I'll email a pic of it. It's the esee 6 clip point.
Anyway long enough comment… Congrats again man and great video!
Thumbnail pic reminds me of a John Wick movie poster 😅
Those sheaths look NICE!
Congratulation on the 1000 subs. That is a nice milestone. Onwards and upwards!
Edit: what would your full load out (knife, firearm, light, pack, melee weapon, 1L of alcohol, other gear) be for the inevitable and totally possible zombie virus outbreak?
9 days out of 10 the microstream is enough for me. Simple, bright enough, and it doesn't matter if you happen lose it.
