Yes I get them in my local gun and fishing shop. I think I've seen them in the fishing section of my nearest go outdoors. I keep a couple in my survival tin. Very handy.

I use them in my hammock to mark where it is so I don't loose it in the pitch black. This has happened to me! and in my survival tin. They provide a small amount of light. Also night fishing. Tho haven't done that for a while. I keep one in my bag. I live out in the wilds so it can be pretty dark. I tend to use night vision rather than a torch. They can be used to clip on a backpack to help drivers see me. All sorts of uses.

I bought some for much the same reason to mark my tent/tarp location. Didn't fancy going through that hassle/embarrassment again!
Got them on Ebay - 4 packs of 5 for about £3 if I remember correctly.

Or you could just away into Poundland or Home Bargains. They're selling a bag of glowstick jewellery for a pound....there's forty pieces in it, from bands to pendants and bracelets, etc.,
I bought some at Hallowe'en for a neighbour's grand-daughter. There were ten pendants in the bag I bought, and enough end pieces to click sticks into bracelets and necklaces too.

Surprisingly good quality for the money. I thought at the time that they'd be the bees knees for marking guylines at camp.

I am brought up before this fantastic tech. To find the way to the ’toilet’ and to mark out the line we used to use white plastic marker tape ( the one without any glue or similar) about 1.5 cm wide and very thin.

Took a strip maybe 15cm long and tied it to bushes, trees and such, preferably at eye level.

Today if I did this I would take them off to dispose of.

Visible even in the darkest, murkiest Swedish late Autumns.

They're known in military circles as "cyalume" sticks, and if you use that in your search it should give you slightly higher grade results than just searching for glow sticks.
