Couch’, I actually think turbo is a negative in the forest. It’s too bright on close in surfaces and blinding. I think Sweden would have a lot of birches and that would be blinding up close and lit in turbo. But how does one explain the light output of these lights? And to compound it we have auto exposure eyes and that’s compounded with a retina that changes the speed of the film. I’m a noob, and that’s why I have so many lights (yet it’s nothing compared to other folks). One needs to have a baseline to judge other lights by.
Silver’, have I got a guarantee for you! If you buy an L6 and don’t like it you can send it to me and I guarantee that I’ll take it off of your hands and charge you absolutely nothing. I can’t do better than that! Such a deal (for me)! I know what you’re thinking… I’m all about people and just an absolutely great guy, so you don’t need to write it. But back to reality 
. These lights are so bright I think you’ll be amazed at what’s available inexpensively right off the shelf.
Just for insurance I would have a body warmed C8 or other light in my parka pocket just in case. Being in a frigid and pitch dark forest with a failed light would be no picnic.
There is a huge thread about the L6 on the forum, and lots of the posts will mean nothing to you, but some will, so just skim until you see something of interest. Many of us use the light in the same context that you intend to. Convoy L6... XHP70 Beast!

Like the L6 it gains throw by sheer brute force of light output; but I expect it to be a pure flood type light with no hot spot. The L6 does have a hot spot.
If you need a smaller light with throw consider having djburkes mod a C8 for you. It will easily outperform a stock C8 and will have a bunch of throw (or whatever you specify), but we’re back to the max’ output= more juice drawn= more heat= lesser runtime. But it’s a significantly smaller light and easily pocketable in a parka. Of course in lower output modes it draws no more current than any other light at that output. There are so many ways you can go and the reason many folks on this site have so many lights.
