That is all.

5. Guilty as charged. Thankfully, that whole
reflection/refraction law actually works. I didn't take a completely direct hit.

And the heat...I think I could start a campfire just by shining this thing on some kindling.

7. Search and rescue, largely.
I'm fully prepared, as I'll likely be activated by EARS this week. Now the new 6 bulb LED headband lamp, with the 2 red Nightvision settings...that, you don't want to know about.
