This story was carried on my local news yesterday. If you aren’t carrying a flashlight daily, this might convince you. You never know how or when you’ll need your flashlight…
Early yesterday, a Washington man had a road wash out underneath his vehicle due to the flooding in the area. He was able to use his flashlight, a Surefire G2X, as he extricated himself from his vehicle and climbed back up onto the roadway in the dark. Once he was on the roadway, he was able to use the light to warn other drivers about the now dangerously washed out road surface. His simple act of preparedness, carrying a light, may have played a role in saving his life and potentially the lives of other motorists.
Completely agree on the importance of carrying a flashlight, but let’s be honest, the real headline is the one right below this one on the local news site: Joey the indoor pet squirrel stops burglary. I’d like to see a flashlight do that.
I debated on whether or not I should point out that story. That is one cool squirrel.
