Boondocking during the day is simple. Open the door and stick your head out to see what and where you are camped. At night it use to be... dark and DIM. Boondocking for the "brightest" is the point of this Thread.
FLASHLIGHTS.
Most gizmos we find interesting are found at our local Costco stores. The LED flashlights ARE sunlight in a "tube". Our first LED flashlight was about 5 inches long and 100 lumens. Then, regular introductions went to 300 lumens, 500 lumens and the latest, longest and brightest flashlight... 1000 lumens.
The five pound aluminum tube flashlight with four or five D Cells batteries is a match in a Football Field, compared to an exploding Sun Tube, less than six inches of pure white sunlight in a tube. These 300 to 500 lumen flashlights are sunlight in a tube. Our latest purchase of a 1,000 lumen... is still in the sealed pack. I am nervous about even opening it, sliding the four C Cell batteries into it... not knowing WHAT to expect. I am concerned that Permits, with your photograph, might be required to carry these concealed in a Pocket or Light Holster in the woods, public buildings or towing a trailer that does not indicate "1000 Lumen On Board" notice.
What does this have to do with Boondocking? There are times I want to know what is going "bump" in the dark while camped in the woods. This Star Wars Jedi light source... just the 500 lumen could discourage Darth Vader from breathing heavily for a moment is a wonder of engineering. Probably the most important invention since the invention of candles and wooden stick self igniting matches in a carton!
Since I have been reluctant to load the four C Cell batteries into the One Thousand Lumen Star Wars Jedi Light... has anyone else been brave enough to fire this thing up, yet? Having this much power in one mortal's hand is possibly more than most can retain control. An age requirement for use should be posted for those under 12 years and over 55 years old...
So you torch, candle and lantern carrying Homo Sapiens... when have you entered the 21st Century of actual Sunshine in a Tube revolution?
Caution: When using the 1,000 lumen flashlight, sun glasses may be required to avoid temporary blindness from just the reflection off of a shiny aluminum object parked in the woods.
