    I’m always surprised I these conversations that almost no one mentions always having a useful, generally charged, decent close range flashlight.

    I’m old enough to ha e experienced that having a zippo was the most reliable way to see close range stuff. Flashlights were basically dead battery containers.

      I carry with me a small rechargeable flashlight everywhere and use it almost every day. I do not think I could have spent that money better.

      It has a low light mode so I can see at night in the bedroom without waking up my partner and it’s really powerful at the same time. It even has a magnet and baseball cap clip so the hands can be free to do other stuff.

      Having a flashlight in the phone is really nice, but I don’t think I will use it again.
