snip --- I've used Campmor Firefly Lights for several years, wt about 3/4
oz, last a month + (depending on               use), fairly cheap the last
time I bought some it was 3 for $10. Plenty of light for night, unless you're 
           doing a night hike, then I'd use a Petzel (micro)...

snip --- Just got a Platypus 2L Hoser, have not had it on a hike (yet)... I
did use it for an afternoon of                       XCountry Skiing, not
much of a test... Not sure if I like the "hoser" or not, drinking enough
water                  hasn't been a problem in the past, this is almost too
handy, probably spend a lot more time                        getting water.
           I'll repost later this year after I get a chance to give it a
field test...
