Hikers will sometimes get lost on a trail past sunset, which means bringing a flashlight is essential to finding your way to the trailhead. We take light for granted because we are used to lights assisting on dark streets, roads, and highway. Yet, when you are deep in a forest and its nightfall, the only gentle light source you may have is a full moon. However full moons are not seen every night. It is important to see the smaller details of your trail, your map or to see what's lurking in the bushes. This is why a flashlight comes in handy. As Cody Lunden says “Light takes away fright.”
Be sure to bring extra batteries in the event your primary batteries die. Remember that no matter how much you plan , how well you know the trail, or how closely you keep track of time sometimes you will become sidetracked or disoriented and night fall arrives. This happens when some of us are not paying attention or are unfamiliar with a trail.
While a flashlight is no excuse for staying out later than you should, but if a problem arises, you will be prepared to deal with the situation.
A candle is another light source that you could use to light your way, although not as bright as a flashlight, they can be useful for starting a fire and illuminating your trail. They are multi-useful.

The new millennium casts a different role for candles. Not only are candles used as light sources during power outage, but they also symbolise festivity, calm the senses, mark intimacy, and accent home decors.
When deciding on what to pack for your ever adventurous journey can be very overwhelming. Space is limited and so is the amount of weight that you can physically carry so how do you choose what to take. Many suggest that a basic survival kit be assembled before setting out. This kit would include, but not be limited to matches, fire starters, fishing line, a tiny compass, and water purification tablets. Stephen Regenold. "Survival Gear: 10 Items to
Many details in the Stranger Things trailer had to do with light – flickering lights, the light on Will’s bike flickering before he disappears, and the blinding light when Will vanishes from thin air, for example. I think that light can represent discover and hope in a lot of instances, but here, since the light is flickering, I think it symbolizes something slightly different. I think that the flickering light we see so many times in this trailer does represent discovery, but not in a celebratory way. I think that flickering lights represent discovering in a dangerous way, because although one would be able to see things in flickering light, it is not complete light, making things difficult to see sometimes. I think the flickering light

In hiking, as in life, there are choices between success and pain, pride and safety; this is the story of one such choice. Last summer I participated in the Rayado program at Philmont Scout Ranch. The eighth day of the trek was my crew’s greatest challenge: Super Black Death, a hike of seven peaks in one day.
Students need to be supervised after a specific time of night. This isn’t because they will do something disruptive, but they might run into trouble and not know how to react. Stated in an article by Ebscohost, “Hundreds of U.S. cities have laws of curfew that apply to kids 17 and younger, and with that crimes and deaths have went down significantly over the last couple of years”. This valid fact supports the opposition that curfew is over all a good idea for students and parents. If more cities could recognize this now the world can be a safer place. In another example while being in darkness you are more vulnerable to get hurt. You cannot see as easily as you would if you were in light thus making it easier to hurt you. While being inside in a well-lit room or sleeping, you are guaranteed to be much more safer than being outside. Students shouldn’t even be out that late; there is no need to be. All stores are closed, no one is outside, and you are just waiting for trouble to strike.

Lighting is a tricky world to play in for if you have too much, you blinding your subject and if you have too little you can barely see where you are going. The proper amount of light necessary changes with the room, the subject, the action, the setting, the overall mood of the scene is governed by precise amounts of light or lack thereof. Light is power, control the light, and control the show.
In the daytime, the sun illuminates the world, drawing everything into plain sight; in the nighttime however, the moon provides only a faint glow, allowing the world to be obscured and thrust into shadows and darkness. The fundamental fear of the dark is one of the reasons we behave so cautiously during the night. As juveniles, people are taught to fear the night and trust the day; they are told folklore about “the Boogey Man” and other unpleasant creatures that “go bump in the night”, and only in the night. The folklores were told to protect them because it is actually more dangerous during the dark hours of twilight. Many crimes occur during the day; however more crimes occur during the night because there are more places to hide and less people to witness these evil ...
