You guys remember those snake lights that you could wrap around a tree or something. I use mine to hold next to the ground. The light shines out over the leaves right next to the ground when tracking. For me its the best one i can think of and packs easily into a bag or fanny pack. Two batteries lasts me more than 5 hrs of tracking at night. Thier nice, no bending over, they illuminate the blood real well, easy to spot it.
