[Sca-cooks] Flashlights at Pennsic

[Jeff Gedney]

Right, Red does not interfere with night vision, which is why military flashlights often come with a red filter that can be placed over the lens.

But I have found that the only place I need any kind of artificial illumination is in the portajohns. 

Our household puts those cyalume sticks in the nearby portajohns, but they keep getting put into the toilet by jokers who think that glowing blue poop is the height of wit.
