Run while you can. I like to think I am a normal person. But there are so many high performing flashlights and batteries for certain situations that I now have a set of 7 flashlights. They are part of my everyday carry. I have a laser beam flashlight that can reach a nearby island.

7? Psh.

Try 40.

No but seriously, it's addictive. One moment you're like "I just need a good flashlight" and the next you're telling somebody how the flashlight they got from Lowes has terrible tint and CRI compared to your hand-assembled copper and titanium pixel camo Emisar D4v2 with dedomed Nichia 519As you got for like $120 from a Chinese guy named Hank.

I love the small but powerful LED lights that can light up an entire room. Was able to impress a few people in just the right moment with those and always have one with me.

This is like the wholesome flipside of prepperism.

I dunno, hopeing for a power outtage, just so he can flex his equipment is kinda prepperism.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't read like flexing, reads like finally getting to use your toys.

As the result of apower outage that generally make things not working for everyone and can have adverse effects like people dying, who are dependant on electricity for medical systems, heating in winter, and otherwise adverse effects such as increased injuries etc.?

Wishing for a power outage is nuts. If he wants to try out his toys he can just turn off the main circuit breaker and get a small "power outage" for himself. But that would be boring because the neighbours wouldnt be amazed at how he sits in the light, while the rest of the street sits in the dark.

I value having good tools. I bring a small flashlight when I travel. How often have I needed it? Not often, but when your in some hotel and the power goes out, it's my time to shine!

Hell yes, it's good to be prepared!
