    by that logic you better leave your torch/headlamp and candles at home too....and before you say you cant hunt using candles..yes you can,not very well but you can do it...many possums etc have been shot from trees using very primative lighting.

    I see your point, but thermals have a single, non safety use and are optional whereas torches are needed.
    I was thinking about how if you have fishing equipment at a river but no licence you can get the gear confiscated even if you weren't fishing with it, just carrying it because you needed it to retrieve something hanging off a bridge.

    The logic in the point is still off and would never hold up, it’s just pulling at straws trying to argue against them.
