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.

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

Don't over look the Fenix headlamp either.

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.

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!

Best light I have found is a Coleman lantern as a few already mentioned. Makes blood drops shine.

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.
