This thread is about someone going on a wilderness survival weekend,
not SAR. Also, no one said anything about not having any flashlight
at all.
For SAR, I agree a flashlight is required, and carrying a second is
a good idea. However, depending on what you are searching for, the
environment, and the ambient light that night, using the flashlight
may not be your best choice.
