Klarus XT11
This flashlight produces a maximum output of 600 lumens! It will absolutely blow away your headlamp (and bad guys too).
How bright is 600 lumens? Think Batman’s Bat Signal.
Need to light up the night? Look no further than the Klarus XT11.
The Klarus XT11 comes with a red filter to preserve your night vision.
If blinding your would be attacker with the XT11’s strobe mode isn’t enough, the bezel (removable) can be used as a last ditch self-defense striking implement.
The user interface is very easy to use. It’s simple and efficient – a feature Klarus flashlights are known for vs. other competitors. Use the large main (round) button for an instant 600 lumens. The second half-moon shape button is used to cycle between 600, 150, and 10 lumens. The secondary button can also be used at any time in any mode (by holding it down momentarily) to activate the strobe (which defaults to 600 lumens).
The XT11 comes with a removable pocket clip (simply pulls off). It also comes with a removable anti-roll/grip enhancer which slides off by removing the tail cap.
No pocket clip or roll-stabalizer.
Very portable!
The Klarus XT11 also comes with a Velcro-flap case which accommodates various carry options.

From www.solidersystems.net :
The latest title to ride the SEAL tsunami is “The US Navy SEAL Survival Handbook.” I haven’t even read the thing yet, but I can reliably say that a Navy SEAL isn’t going to drop any special SERE sauce on you. At least not simply by virtue of being a SEAL. It just isn’t what they do for a living. However, author Don Mann was not only a SEAL but also served as a SERE instructor while in the Navy and that makes what he has to say worth checking out. It’s just too bad that it’s being sold as a SEAL book rather than as a survival guide written by a SERE instructor. Topics include: Making weapons and tools, Finding water, Wildlife for food, Making shelters, Signaling, and Sea survival. I’m a big fan of survival topics so I look forward to checking it out.
