Danner Pronghorns. Don't wear them in, just wear them.

I'd prefer piece of mind. I wouldn't like to trust some trousers to a snake bite.

That really is comparing apples to oranges. The whole point of the X21 is that it is the best and brightest handheld LED torch. It is not like the Lightforce models which you are comapring it to as the X21 uses D cells inside the torch and is very streamline, while the lightforce uses is very bulky. Also, IMO it is much easier to spot game and differentiate colour when using white light from LEDs or HIDs as opposed to yellow which blends in with the colour of a lot of game, leaf litter, dry grass and trees. Add the conversion onto the lightforce and you're looking at more than you can get an X21 for. I can also imagine that the Lightforce wouldn't last nearly as long as the X21 on the battery when you're powering a 100W globe. I do agree there could be a tad more focus on the X21 but we've never had trouble picking out game. I don't find it hard to whack up a pair of binos or a scope to check whether its a stump or not, we do this multiple times every trip out, even under 100m. I find the comparing a P7 at 100m to the X21 it blows it away, the X21 comes into its own out past 100m where all other lights fail. We were also contemplating getting a walkaround Lightforce but not since we've used the X21.

Probably something more like this http://www.underarmour.com/shop/mens/sports/hunting Under Armour camo gear.

Download OzTopo from a torrent site. Far better than shonky maps. It's what I use.

The focus is still practically one handed, just the same as the P7 I've got.

Where abouts did you order it from? I've been looking at it and the cheapest I've found is $360 delivered for the Legend 1200.

My dad got his from the USA. Brilliant portable spotlight. Have taken a few shots with it out to 100m and am sure will take a many more well past that. I quite like walking out at night with just Dad and I and the X21. Much more peaceful than a ute with 4 - 5 people in it.

Apparently Smartwool Mountaineer Socks are the best you can buy. Yet to try them myself but will be buying a few pairs soon as I get my new boots. The reviews for them are very good. http://www.rei.com/product/618127 They are international though

I've never heard a sound from the HID spotlight I use on startup or anytime. Neither with the car.

ASAT is all season all terrain I use Realtree for my camo, I don't think the All Purpose camo would look too bad.

I use the Lightforce handheld with HID conversion with my Dad and it's brilliant. The 35W xenon puts out more light imo than the 100W it comes with and the colour of the HID light is much better when looking through the scope as the difference in colours is much more apparent. When using a halogen everything seems the same colour. The only trouble with it is that it picks up the game too far away.

A good way to keep them looking brand new is to use camo tape. Check some out on eBay, you can buy either vinyl tape which is meant to be permanent or cloth tape which you remove after you've finished hunting. I'm getting some APG Cloth Tape to use on my rifle.

Hi guys, I enjoy fishing, driving and hunting. I shoot a .204 mostly on pigs and foxes if they are around, but would love to nail my first deer.
