Change just one letter and this whole thread takes on a completely different meaning.
And most of the posts would still be relevant and I'd suspect the same cast.

You obviously aren’t trying hard enough. I lost my 3xD battery maglite in my attic insulation for 4 years. I found it 2 weeks before I moved.
One of them old incandescent bulb monstrosities? Id have let that relic remain there to fossilize.
That said, I do have one of the 6xD versions around here somewhere. I think they wanted about 15 bucks for a new bulb, so its just a beating stick now.
For a couple dollars more you can have a 500 lumen upgrade.

There are LED replacements for all maglights and most work pretty well.
When you get older, you will be using it more. I use it to read bronze cemetery plaques that have not been cleaned in years, finding a small tool in my range bag, looking down the bore to see if it is leaded, walking the dog in the dark. There are hundreds of reasons where a light comes in handy.
I may start carrying a tiny flashlight now, after giving your post some thought. I was think how ludicrous it was to carry a flashlight around during the day. Then I realized the occasional times I needed to see something a little better when in the shadows, or when trying to look in a small dark compartment even with the sun shining outside.
Get a bright one so you can see if you got enough de ice fluid on the ship.
Ha! Coincidentally with your remark, I'm training again tonight. Will be interesting to see how much light we have to work with in the dark out there on the pad. The telescope part of the boom has 2 floodlights and one Led array attached. I'm sure they get hazed out with all of the fluid being sprayed and misted around though...
Always have at least 1 flashlight that does not require batteries or need to be recharged.
