On the issue of battery use it is now the norm to go for rechargeables with most users thinking the purchase of a few cells would satisfy their needs. Wrong. You will buy less over time but you will have to replace your first set of rechargeables sooner than you think.

Wow, way to feed off the Multi-Tool Tie Crazy Idea. I love the idea of a cell phone case multi-tool! With smart phones it could tie into an app that would automatically pop out the correct tool. The user could say “Go, go gadget corkscrew.” And a corkscrew would instantly pop out of the phone case.

Comment on 5 Mountaintop Activities for Summer by rudy torres

these flashlights are small but powerful and the warranty is great..i sent mine twice and have had it fixed speedily. Last time whole process took 5days. I would recommend this to anyone especially anyone is law enforcement because these lights can illuminate a whole block away and they are small enough to fit in my shirt pocket. I have a p7 and use with rechareable batteries that usually will last two days with about 2 hours use per day…excellent product for outdoors but may be a little too powerful for use inside house. thanks a million coast…

Yeah, I agree, sounds condescending. Their marketing team needs to “refocus”.

Comment on Get Prepared – the Big One is Coming by Larry

You can’t be too prepared! I was in the great earthquake in Chile last year. It was magnitude 8.8 which is much smaller than the one anticipated on the Cascadia fault. It affected the entire country with power outages, food shortages, no phone service, cell or landline, and important highway closures due to bridges etc. failing. All this in a country that has experienced a 9.5 and since built and prepared for great quakes. The terrain in Oregon and Washington is very similar to that in Chile and I would expect that any quake above an 8.8 magnitude there will be extremely devastating. Homes and commercial buildings there don’t appear to be as sturdy as those I visited in Chile (no offense intended). Since my experience, I am never without my Coast flashlight on my keychain, food, water, shelter, and fuel stored – in spite of living in an area with no history and minimal potential for a quake. You never know when the lights will go out!

Comment on Hunting Knife Safety Tips by Mizerman

Great information on this post. I have heard a great many stories about people falling on their own knives because they either didn’t sheath it or it was carried improperly. Also I think many people don’t realize that you have to care for your knives by storing, cleaning and sharpening them. Thanks for the excellent tips.
