I would never think of going on an outdoor camping trip or camping hiking jaunt without at least one good flashlight. When I am packing my outdoor camping gear for a weekend of camping hiking I make sure I have my two favorite flashlights and spare batteries. Modern outdoor camping has spoiled us because of all the modern products available to enhance the outdoor camping experience. Think about it a moment. For outdoor camping from a tent we now have mini portable toilets, battery operated heaters for keeping the tent toasty warm on even the chilliest nights, battery powered air conditioners and frans for keeping us cool on hot muggy summer nights, bug repellents to keep these pesky imps away while we sit around the camp fire after dark, electric and propane stoves for cooking, sleeping bags so efficient I have to crawl out of mine unless it is very cold outside the tent, tents with built in waterproof floors, air vents and separate rooms, and coolers that will keep the bacon and eggs cold while also keeping other items hot. And this is just a very short list  of all the modern outdoor camping gear on the market. If you are a technology kind of person then shopping for outdoor camping gear is like being a kid in a candy shop. Enjoying outdoors sports like camping hiking has not always been like this. Think back to how some of America's famous frontiersmen and the very little outdoor camping gear they had. No flashlights or air conditioning for them! A wool blanket, a sharp knife, a rifle and a piece of flint to start a fire and these men could live in the wilderness for months. Not me. I like my modern outdoor camping gear and a reliable flashlight is as vital to me as my sleeping bag. The T.O.P., 3 Watt Luxeon LED, Black Aluminum Body, Clam Pack is a perfect flashlight for those who are new to outdoor camping and looking to buy camping gear.

                                                                          I like this handy flashlight for a couple of reasons. One-it is made from shock absorbent material and the flashlight is short. These are both important considerations when buying camping hiking gear as the compact design will fit easily in a backpack and if the light is dropped the shock absorbent case will save the light bulb from breaking. The flashlight is one of many great products at the Route 66 Mega Mall web site online at www.route66megamall.com.
