I've been happy with a little Eveready head lamp I got at Walmart. Red and white lens and AA powered. Surprisingly bright for the money...under $20

A Coleman gas lantern with some tinfoil on the back side to keep the light out of your eyes is the best recovery light I've ever found. Done a bunch of blood trailing in the swamps and palmettos with one and that's my go-to.
If you find yourself in a fair fight? Your tactics suck!

Very unfortuneate but most of us have been there who've been at this challenging passion for awhile. But nothing in nature is wasted, just recycled.

I just picked up a Coleman head lamp at Wally World that advertised 108 lumens (Coleman MAX).  for the past 3 years I'd been using the eveready head lamps and thought they funtioned when but I have to say this Coleman is much better.   first its got both red and blue lights for night vision.  the selector dial turns forward and back (back for red or blue, forward for high med low white light).  its much brighter than the everready.

but I also keep a single mantle propane lantern and a 1 pound propane bottle in the truck just in case.

I always use a lantern, it really is Brite! When I use a flashlight, I use a black ice by browning . I heard a ton of good stuff about Felix, it's on my list to try

A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight;nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety;is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

I prefer a hands free approach myself. The fenix headlamps are incredible!

Watch for spiders when trailing at night they will be on the blood.

The Fenix is a great light. Also consider a Coleman Lantern.

EHK, PM sent. I work in Criminal Justice. Aside from a flashlight you need "starlight bloodhound" its real cheap and we use it to solve murders even though it was designed for hunting purposes.
Now then, get your weapons, your quiver and your bow and go out into the open country to hunt some wild game for me.- Genesis 27:3

Good ole Coleman lantern. Take a piece of aluminum foil and fold it around the back half of the globe to reflect light away from your eyes and towards the ground.

For a flashlight, Fenix is very hard to beat, but for blood trailing the old coleman lantern is pretty awesome!

David Mitchell

Best light I have found is a Coleman lantern as a few already mentioned.  Makes blood drops shine.
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-BOW in one hand-ARROWS in the other-Body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming-WOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!

Go buy a 2-D cell Mag-lite with LED bulb.  Very brite! You will not be disappointed. Any hardware or Wallyworld should have them.
