[at-l] Headlamps

[Black Wolfe]

For backpacking, I love my Princeton Tec Scout.  Light weight and bright 
enough on high for easy trail finding.  Downside?  It uses coin cell 
batteries, available in Wal-Mart, many drug stores, some backpacking/camping 
shops and several hardware stores that I have checked.  But often not on the 
main battery display.
