Field notes

A torch rather than a headlamp, for the jobs a headlamp does badly: looking for a trail marker across a valley, checking a campsite, reading a map without blinding the person beside you. Hold the switch for red light.

The magnetic tail sticks it to a car door or a stove lid. Lock it by twisting the head a quarter-turn before it goes in the pack.

The clip in the photograph is not included.
