      - she should probably wear a turban, and grow a beard. -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 12:48
  - Sure, I don't see a problem with that. --nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:46
  - hell no -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:46

  - might be cheaper to pick up the donkey there. - Andie Jan 18, 12:45
- i prefer a headlamp to a flashlight myself. they are much lighter and hands-free. -- (link) - Guy Jan 18, 12:44 1
  - if she has one, they're great. -- nm - Andie Jan 18, 12:44
- oh and... - Andie Jan 18, 12:44
- A flashlight also makes a handy weapon in a pinch. -- nm - Michael Westen Jan 18, 12:43 8
  - I have one of those magnetic-induction ones ... despite being plastic, it has some heft to it. And in a pinch, it can be used as a compass. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:45 7
    - she really doesn't want to lug that around - trust me -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:46 6
      - If she's going to be there for two months, maybe she'd want something that doesn't require charging? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:47 5
        
        you mean like... battery powered? - Guy Jan 18, 12:50 3
        
        yes, maybe batteries would be a hindrance, compared to self-contained. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:52 2
        
        when you have everything you're living off of for two months on your back, there are bigger concerns -- nm - Guy Jan 18, 12:53 1
        
        I dunno, a renewable source of light seems pretty damn handy to me. - Beryllium Jan 18, 12:56
        
        she won't be using it that often. - Andie Jan 18, 12:49
