Just happened to watch one of your older videos where you were talking about preparedness, then this recent video pops up. No matter technical this world gets you have to have the basics. As far as flashlights as a Christmas gift last year I received a flashlight that uses water as its power source. Amazing what we can do these days.

I've had this one for awhile at work, especially because its explosion proof and waterproof being a plumber and working with gas and propane frequently. Awesome light

I worked for a company that used a motorola very close to the CP200's.. they are good, we found getting the longer antenna helped with range immensely. Also, the Li-On batteries worked great, but keep in mind if your using them in winter time outside, you'll want to try and keep them warm, we found they drained pretty quickly when the winter really got going in Vermont... Awesome!

Great video. I was just re-considering my flashlight collection last night (which sounds very similar to yours) and came to the same conclusion. As a former volunteer firefighter the Streamlight we carried was rock solid and simple but did the job well. Decided that would be the right light for the right price for my general needs. Going to put one in my vehicle and have a couple around the house.

Compare how great we thought the 3-4 D cell maglights many years ago, to a $30 plastic light like this now. We didn't know what bright light really was. Can't use a $30 plastic one for a beat down though.

I've got 2 of those lights already. They are pretty good. They are also certified haz low. And, I use the side light function a lot when working in tight spaces. I've been using them in the led form since they started offering them. I use to use the regular bulb type, but they kill batteries in about 8 hours. I've forgotten the led one in cabinets overnight and they where still on when I went back for them. Great pick.

I like the anchor rechargable lights. We do multi week hiking trips and the reason I like it is because 1 it's water proof 2 it has a quick interchangeable battery incase we can't charge it. It does have the 3 standard modes of dim bright and strobe but it has a memory that turns it on to the last used setting.

Thought I was the only one who wanted to standardizing their hodgepodge of flashlights in favor of a simple (no mode) AA flashlight. This looks perfect! Great review, thanks!

Very good flashlight. I've had it in my SUV for about 3 years. Just changed out the first set of batteries. Not high lumens, but not grossly overstated like cheap ones.

I absolutely love this self reliance series. Keep it up!!!

I agree with the Streamlight as a solid flashlight manufacturer. I used Pelican for a while, but the Streamlight has been a fantastic light that I used as a mechanic for a dozen or so years. I think I went through about 3 batteries and 3 light bulb replacements during that time period. I love this model, my wife is always shining the light at her feet when she walks outside at night with a flashlight.

This is exactly what I like. Detailed, nonpartisan, practical reviews. Wranglestar you are reeling me in my sir.

I have 3 of these lights, they are the best flashlights I've ever owned. The dual beams is genius, we just go back from a camping trip and I can't emphasize enough how nice it is to see everything around your feet as well as what's up ahead while you are walking on a dark trail. I too have noticed that all of my flashlights with "modes" (and therefore circuits) have a much higher parasitic drain that those with simple switches. I can't tell you how many times I've reached for one of those other lights and it's either totally dead or has a very short run time. I have none of those issues with this light.

My streamlight knucklehead flashlight has a mode called "moonlight" that lasts for 30 days or so with a full charge. Depends on what you look for but I also use it as a utility light and it's awesome for that purpose as well.

The lithium batteries won't corrode like alkaline either.

Maglite Flashlights are very good. I have several of them (more than four) that I have been using for over ten years.

I use that same intrinsically safe Streamlight at work, inside an oil and gas refinery (intrinsically safety devices are a requirement). That 3 battery flashlight rocks! Super bright and last a long time. They do have a newer model with a magnet at the tail end

I and my team are using these flashlights on a Construction project and they are the best light I have ever used. small, light, and very durable. In full use, i can see where my feet are when moving through a building as well as in front of me.

Yeah, I was half kidding around but I can see a scenario where you want to shine your light at a coyote or something in the distance quickly and you hit the wrong button and then you are fumbling around trying to flip the light to find the other button. This reason alone is why I chose the Mini Maglite AA Pro. Very simple operation, not even a switch to go bad. After watching this video I decided to test how durable my little maglite was so I took it outside and threw it at the concrete garage floor for 10 minutes straight and then took it apart and poured brake fluid all inside it. I let the brake fluid set a few minutes and then I cleaned it all, put batteries in it, and guess what... when I turned the bezel, the light came on...just like it was supposed to. Nothing more needs to be said about maglite durability. And unlike streamlight, it’s 100% Made in USA!

I do find both a spot light and flood light in one flashlight very useful. For up close work the spot has too much glare and the flood is light better. Besides with both lit you can see out ahead and the ground is nicely lit. The spot light button is on the top and the flood light on the bottom. As noted these are single function buttons, just on and off. After trying it out, I bought a second one.

I’ve got two of them flashlights too. Like you said, they fit perfect in a pocket in carhartt pants. Use it all the time when it’s dark and I’m going out in the field. Had the oldest one for over a year with no problems

Thanks for another great video, halfway through I ordered and by the end I established if it held up to my tests its going into an emergency kit that i'm gifting relatives.

AA and AAA's are a must for a flashlight. If the power goes out for longer than a few hours, I don't want to have to deal with a rechargeable flashlight that needs to be recharged. I am always gong to have AA's, AAA's, and 9V's at my house and every backpack, suitcase, etc. that I have, I always keep a few AA's and AAA's. I will never have to worry about my flashlight not working because it ran out of charge, especially when the situation does not allow for me to charge them. I 100% agree about the unnecessary modes. I am only ever going to use one, maybe two modes, and I don't want to have to cycle through fifteen to get to the one that I want, only to accidentally go passed it and have to start again.

Love this series. I've been adding/upgrading many of the same preps my self lately. Looking forward to hearing your take. I am interested in knowing what size cartridges the ammo box was designed for?

Wow I've been carrying an O light S2R2Baton for about 2 years. Gunctions exceptionally, fairly simple imho, and I've only charged it twice. Once when I bought it, once before I went camping this last year, still charged, and I use it ALL the time. Small enough to keep on my person comfortably. RECHARGEABLE. So many solar capable chargers these days I don't think it's a bad option personally. We'll see how it holds up. Thanks for the video.

I carry an S1R Baton II myself. It makes an exceptional edc and headlamp. It is all I really NEED, and was a godsend during the Calpocalypse. I love the moonglow setting (or whatever they call it). It permits you to get around in the middle of the night without ruining your night vision, and will run for days and days on this setting.

while I had my doubts with some of your past testing methodologies and opinions Cody, this time you have really convinced me with this no-nonsense robust flashlight. I believe this is what most of your viewers need, back to the basics like your old reviews and chain saw tutorials

I use these at work in an oil refinery. They're great!

Glued to the set for this entire series, Cody! This is nessesary, no B.S. practical, reasonable, realistic info. Thanks for doing this!

I love surefire, olight, and stream light and have a few of each but my company handed these out to all their employees to keep in their truck and I can assure you this thing can can a huge beating and keep working for you. Highly recommend it

Streamlight makes fantastic products, I’ve been using them for years. I have a few of the Strion LED lights, I always have it with me at work and most of the time when I’m not at work lol. They’ve stood the test of time, very durable and dependable.

I think its the perfect utility and emergency light. Its no edc light, but thats not the purpose. Save the exotic battery flashlights for the pocket use, and keep these all around the shop and the house. Great pick Cody.

I've been thinking about a Nebo Slyde light, or a Coast PX250. They have high-low modes, side light strip, and have red light, and a magnetized base.

I love my stream light stylus pro, carried it for years. A small note about radios, look for one that you can turn off beeps every time you push the bottom to talk. Whether hunting or just want quiet, I am super frustrated with my radios every time. They also have a flashlight mode that is easily bumped on and drains the battery.

Fenix lights are my favorite all around standard flashlight. Great battery life, durable, bright, simple.

I use this one for work; I love it; highly recommended!

I have 3 of these lights! I have the big spot, the 90, and the one you have. I completely agree I like that they don't have all the finicky modes, that's why I'm buying more. Thanks for the link Mr. W!

Those are the flashlights that I have for around the house. Work great. Same thing on the fire Dept and seem to hold up well

As a diesel mechanic, I live by streamlight rechargeable flashlights. Every light I have has a charging station that will charge from a wall plug or in your truck, they have an extra battery and will charge the spare battery and flashlight at the same time. You really can't beat them. They are a little pricey, but quality is worth it and I've used their warranty/customer service and they're awesome

We’ve had streamlight rechargeable flashlights at the correctional institution that I work at they are much better than the old Mag lights we used to have...

Thanks for the pick!

I use the nightstick flashlight which is very similar to yours. It has the dual beams, but also has 2 strong magnets that allow you to secure it to steel in several positions.

We use those same flashlights at work, but they have two magnets on them, one on opposite end of each light. Also we those same radios that he mentioned too. Had them over a year or and no issues with any of about 100 or so.

I have an old army angled flashlight that I simply swapped the bulb from incandescent to LED. Battle tough, and now having an LED running on D sized cells, they can keep going practically as long as you need them.

Excited for this series! I love the idea get rid of the junk.

I've used the Streamlight Waypoint for years as a spotlight. They work Great

I have stocked up on Mag lights over the years and added the LED bulbs. They get it done

We are issued a streamlight like this at work. Same light except instead of the flood light it has a laser pointer. I carry it every minute that I'm on the clock. It really is a great light. Gonna get one for at home soon

Make sure to store the batteries in a temperature stable area to not make them wear prematurely

Getting one today for work in Security. Love it’s yellow..

Yep, we've been using Streamlight LED's in an industrial power plant with good success for years. I gave one as a gift to a very wealthy Swiss family friend... (he loves his American "torch"!) 🔦 😎

Every room...including the bathroom...has 3 different light sources other than 120VAC. 1. Battery powered light for quick use. 2. Oil lamp (hurricane type). 3. Candles w/ lighter & matches.

Water Storage - Perhaps it was already mentioned but would you be able to do a video on water storage? Any suggestions for a guy on a city lot on California? I have enough gallon jugs of distilled water to last a few days. Are there any better methods for water storage?

Get the new version with two magnets. Stick it on the fridge so it’s easily found, stick it on the hood of your truck when you need to check under the hood, stick it on the steel plate in your head for a head lamp! Great product.

I really enjoy this type of content👍 I crave simplicity in products nowadays, life is complicated enough without "stuff" driving me round the bend with overly complicated controls. I want things to give me the fizz when I grab them rather than be a constant disappointment everytime I use it🙄

Best when free...we pass them around the camp fire at night and watch the new person blind them selfs with the side light. Good times

Great video - thank you. Looking forward to your suggested upcoming videos Michael from Canada

The new rechargeable microstream is a fantastic edc, be aware they have 2 models one starts in low and one starts in high. I also have many surefire, fenix etc. And I've been carrying it working in the oilfield for months now no issues.

I'm laughing listening to your opening comments.... PRECISELY how I feel! This description (yours), made me feel so much better. I am NOT alone. Thanks.

You should try the explosive proof flashlights at my work, they really work. I shine them at the wall and I can see it slightly better when they turn the lights off, it's really something! Plus, all my maintenance tells me to use them, I love it...

My streamlight stylus pro has been in my pocket every day for years. Best EDC light ever! I'm a welder and have accidentally left them on extremely hot plates and they never quit and the best part is, there's only 2 settings. On and off!

My EDC is a Streamlight Protac 1L-1AA dual fuel that can use the CR 123 battery or a single AA Lithium Ion battery, which is what I keep in it. It is small enough for a vest pocket, and is very bright. I also particularly like the double sided clip, so it can be clipped to my hat when I need a head lamp.

Luci solar power blowup lights are awesome too I've used mine for a long time and love it. Something to think about.

I have had several of these for years now. My job requires intrinsically safe equipment and these fit that bill.

Should do a video over head lamps I usually grab one of those and use it to watch my steps in the woods while using my flashlight to look ahead

The idea of the 2 lights is so smart I might even buy it😂

I have close to a dozen different Streamlight flashlights. The only problem I've had with any of mine, was when I left one in a hotel room, and had to buy another to replace it. Never had one fail me.

Former cop, I trusted my streamlight stinger HPL DS for 5 or 6 years until I left the force. By far the best flashlight I've ever used. My backup was a 2c LED Maglight. Also really good light and really affordable. My Streamlight has so many battle scars on it- I'm so proud of that flashlight. It still gives me the fizz to this day. Streamlight was also always very easy to deal with when something went wrong with one of their lights.

I recommend those dollar flashlights that are the size of a roll of quarters. I have a ton of those lying around, and they all came with batteries. They aren't bright, don't shoot a beam far, nor are they %100 water proof, but I've taken them out in rain plenty and they do fine. They still put out more light and are more reliable than what we had as kids.

i like the streetlights lights the only problem with this one is in the dark when you go to find the different buttons they both fill the same and after the 50th time of blinding my self i wish they would change the button design a little but other then that they work great in all kinds of environments thanks for your content

Just an idea, what about the flash lights with a taser. Their available to buy

I bought a 2 C-Cell MagLite that is roughly the same size as that Streamlight. I put in an LED bulb that bumps the brightness up to 200 something lumens and is plenty for what I need and costed me around 30 bucks as well. I also have a 2-D Cell LED converted MagLites in all of my vehicles. I have one of those same LED Streamlight Survivor lights on my turnout coat for work and really like it as well!

I've switched to streamlight. Pelicans in this design have a very poor switch design with the metal tab. Every single pelican 4 AA light I've owned, the metal tab has failed for me.

The important part of that flashlight is that its intrinsically safe. That's why emergency services use it. Its made for places where explosive gases and dust are normal conditions. The streamlight dualie, is inert. It will not produce a static charge, and its sealed, so it cannot ignite unsafe environments.

Thanks for the enlightening review..it really brought things into focus.So when the topic isn't as serious; on the lighter side...when the power goes out...a good musical group to listen to would be the lumineers.They offer folk rock that will lighten the mood! 😆

I have been a fan of streamlight for 20+ years. Love the lightbox.

I have recently gotten rid of the double A battery requirement. Unless its the "edc" flashlight that you can monitor its storage, useage, and current standing. The issue is the new alkaline battery production is garbage. They leak after sitting on the shelf for 3-6 months. I may look back into them as a lithium replacement.

These videos are Great-- you should do more of these! 👍

What do the battery contacts look like on the lamp section of the light? We use the 2AA streamlight dualies in a heavy Equipment shop and I’ve found that after changing the batteries several times, the spring contacts get bent just enough to make the light flicker if you shake it.
