How does it taste? Haha

All joking aside, I do need to get me some glow stick lights. I was thinking of the red ones, to keep night vision normal, but I'm not sure how good they'd be at illuminating the area I was trying to get through.

Any help?

I have loads of Cyalume lightsticks... the Green ones last for 12 hours and give a good light to about two three metres,... Yellow ones they say they last 30 minutes, but I find they last at least twice as long, and are good light for lighting camp sites or cooking areas,... Blue ones they last 8 hours,..and give a light to about a metre,.. and red ones last 12 hours and dont give a lot of light, but would be enough to move around ground if you took your time

Although you cant see too far with some of the colors,.. the same colors can be seen from quiet a way off,...I know this because they are great for hanging onto tent guy ropes so you can find your tent after a wander off

Ball of para cord
Lump hammer
Folding hand saw
Tent pegs
Tarp

Then-
Food
First aid
Fire making kit and backup kit
Serrated knife
Normal knife
Utility knife bushcraft type
Utility tool
water purifying kit
Utensils/mess tins
Bedding
Spare clothes
Waterproofs
Wash kit
Small axe

Just my opinion but if I get chance to grab my jacket it's never too far from a well stocked bag, could double up and keep one in your car too for if your at work and get caught out.
