    If you ever go spelunking, bring one of these. We had one flashlight die on us and the other was accidentally broken while we were in a cave leaving us with no light(and the cave was hard to navigate WITH light)and if I hadn’t had the creativity to pull the bulb out of the flashlight that had died and manipulate it so it touched the positive/negative on a 9v battery, we’d have been found months later. One of these would definitely help in that regard.

    Good thing is, you get really creative when you’re in the dark and have no where to go.
