I Should Probably Be Banned..

EDC Gear for Flashlight Carriers

..for buying this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-7-1-MILITARY-SURVIVAL-WHISTLE-Camping-Flashlight-/390184017089?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5ad8c79cc1
Lucky I'm among friends

In my defense, I should say that it's not for me (no sniggering at the back) but for my daughter. She's 5 1/2 (loves her pink AA Maglite) and hopefully this will make a nice stocking filler, either for her birthday in the summer or maybe even next Christmas. I know it's a long way off yet, but for me now time goes so fast it'll be here in no time, same as every year, and as usual I'll be stuck for ideas.

I'll let you know when it arrives if it's good enough even for a kids toy, but hopefully it's one of those where you can hardly go wrong for the price.

Be great to post a 'heads up' for it over at the other place..

Ok, I know this is 10x the cost, and she's too young, but anyway

edit: sorry, i'm dumb, they're out of pink...which is why i posted it

Well... it was budget I guess :)

Love it! Yeah, she's way too young, but thanks for the link. Made my day! Guess I could always paint the black set..

Later this year I might start a thread about Xmas present suggestions. I can't be the only one who ends up wracking his brains round about Dec 23rd :\

EDIT

Btw, in case anyone thinks it's a bit crass or unimaginative to buy pink for little girls, it's a funny thing but it's usually they who insist on it. We never did anything to encourage or influence her colour choices at all, but from the age of about three her invariable question would be "Do they do a pink one?" Kinda strange but true..

I think you can thank the advertisement industry for that.

If you post a heads-up on "the other place", be sure to put TACTICAL in the subject line.

That looks like a fantastic first(er..second) flashlight for your young one! Look at all those neat features n stuff!

If you feel like you need punishment, announce on CPF with a Link to it and they will happily oblige! :-)

I thought it was paisley for a moment......Wink

Probably you should be promoted for finding a multi/utility tool for kids at such a low price, considering all the wonderful features it has.....Laughing

Not.Tongue Out

Hope you/she enjoys it.

Kidding aside, I'm cautiously confident that this toy thingy will be a big success with daughter. She loves to play explorers in the wilder areas of our local parks and she understands about Survival Kits etc. And if the novelty wears off after just one outing it only cost the price of an ice cream..

That one got an audible laugh! Nothing better than TACTICAL, I tell ya!

Everyone should own and know how to use a compass .
