How many Lumens is that? Nothing like a super bright flashlight for anything, walking the dog, around the house, etc...

1000 Lumens, the thing is intense. By far the brightest I've owned and it has really great light concentration at long distances.

It was expensive though (~$90) on Amazon).

I completely agree (as mentioned in previous posts) with the following as I have been snowmobiling for many years and have used these items the most:

Tow straps (Especially if you ride with Ski Doo owners ha ha)
A high quality flashlight
A saw
Leatherman Wave is a must!!
Siphon
Small tool kit
Toilet paper (ahhhhhhh)
My favorite item is an "instant on" blow torch and small propane bottle. It may be a bit on the bulky side for some but easily fits in most seat trunks or saddle bags. The last thing I want to do is to try to use matches in -10 degrees with a 20 mph wind to get a fire going.
Nothing like a 2,500 degree flame the wind can't blow out to get a fire going quick, to melt snow around nuts and bolts or to loosen a frozen track.
