I mentioned a few weeks ago that I saw a new headlamp at Walmart that caught my eye.
I am in very deep doodoo at the moment, but I went ahead and bought the headlamp today. First impression is this is the first department-store headlamp that I have ever seen under $ 25 that is suitable for real Texas caving. 6 light settings, strap fits over helmet, and has 3 piece strap, dust resistant, plastic seems good plastic. No green or blue or strobe or flash settings. The rotating hinge seems cheezy, so I would set it at the best angle and epoxy it. I would bet you could cave with it for 5 hours, but after that you would have to put on a different headlamp. So this headlamp is better as a back-up, if you plan to cave for more than 5 hours. I would not venture into Honeycreek Cave with it. Maybe you could gerry-rig it to be water-resistant, but not water-proof. Hopefully, it will end up at the 2020 NSS Consignment Sale. David Locklear P. S Friday morning ( in 29 hours), I go before a county criminal judge for cyber-bulling a witness that I spent 9 wasted days trying to deliver a subpoena to. I think I know how Mueller feels. It is a nauseous or unsettling feeling. The case will surely get postponed. Imagine not having any idea who your accuser is - just some random insignificant name on a piece of paper. And then imagine you are certain they are the ones that should be on trial, instead of you. I live in the upside-down. I haven't even met with my attorney. He is out of town till next week. But we texted each other. I hope that I don't end up like Epstien.
