    I'll add another rule: Always take a headlamp or torch, even if you are just ducking out for a quick morning hunt.

    hell to the yes. I went for a short day hunt so didn't bother with a torch ( me of all people with all my maxtochs ) and nearly ran out of light. It gets dark in the bush early and I got a bit temporarily geographically misplaced and eventually made my way out just on full dark. Always take a headtorch with me now

    yes I auto assumed he would take one - the torches now have really changed my hunting - back in seventies eighties we avoided dark like the plaque - now with a couple of LED Lensers one head lamp one hand held no hesitation to come out several hours after dark ( known route of course ) I have always liked that bit attributed to Daniel Boone I AINT NEVER BEEN LOST BUT I BEEN DAMN CONFUSED
