If you’re heading for the hills for the holidays with your tent, sleeping bag and favorite companions, be sure to take along one of these tiny, hands-free light sources to brighten up the night. You can make like a miner with Cabela’s Cyclops Orion Clip Light ($12.99; pictured here), a lightweight, waterproof LED lamp that clips to your favorite cap and shines a light on tasks like staking a tent, cleaning fish or even repairing a flat tire. G2’s all-in-one cotton twill cap ($19.95 at Amazon.com) has a built-in LED light source that’s visible from up to one mile away and ready with the click of an on/off switch. Not into lighted caps? Consider the ultra-compact, no-frills Petzl Zipka Headlamp ($32.95) from altrec.com. Weighing less than 3 ounces even with its AAA batteries, it has a strong retractable cord for attaching to the head, wrist or backpack and when not in use it can be tucked into a pocket. Other useful gear include Cabela’s Mini-Multi Tool ($9.99) with a bright LED light and six quality tools that will come in handing for camping or backpacking; it also includes a belt sheath, a keychain, and button batteries. For navigating through rugged terrain, the two-in-one Highgear LZed compass and LED light ($9.95 from altrec.com) has a freeze-resistant floating dial compass and a detachable battery-powered light; the tiny unit can hook onto a zipper or keychain. Happy trails of light!
