I think it may depend on whether you know where you are/where you are 
going. When I have to go out to someplace I don't know at night, I bring a 
lantern so I can read signs, etc. I can manage fine going to a friend's 
camp or to the portajohn, but if I get lost I'll need light. Of course, 
for the founder of Pennsic that might not be a problem. :)
