I'm sorry but I just have to ask. How many backup sticks do you carry? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

About 30-35 sticks if you have a bellows style pocket. :-D
Flat pocket, only about 8 to 10. :cry:

FYI, campmor.com has the Princeton Tec Attitude on sale for $13

Not that I have kept a light on before, but I think it would be great to have if scootering and your primary fails - it sucks to be traveling fast and all of a sudden not know how close you are to the wall. I am not sure a little mask mounted light would help there, but it is probably worth testing out.

It does help. It also helps with the quick glances at guages.

I know scooters feel fast but they go at under 3 mph. There's time and light enough with the mask light.

I do not do penetrations as far as I would with a buddy, but I tend to do more exploring closer to the entrance.
