The 'I've found a bargain' thread

[neoaliphant]

It is - although the User interface is a bit of a Fred Astair tip-tappy nightmare.

it is similar to a lot of others, but each manufacturer changes the number of clicks, would be confusing to people that had different torches from different brands....

the powerbank feature is very handy, i find myself using most of the modes. even the red flashing light and magnet base is usefull for car emergency.

some of teh anduril flashlight modes are usefull, but andurill doesnt have sos....

and its so cheap too

Anduril v2 does have SOS in the source code, but you need to edit, compile and flash the torch to enable it. Or find someone that has posted the firmware somewhere.

That sounds familiar, but I wasnt willing to get something of similar price and risk bricking, the IF23 is rather excellent, the side cob light cannot be underestimated in usefullness....

The auto lockout makes switching it on a real pain, I frequently end up with it on turbo or the side light coming on. I’ve given up using the switch for Off and just undo the tailcap a 1/4 turn.

i think you can turn off the auto lockout, but its easy to quarter turn the end....

To be honest I think I find it too irritating. I need to reread the UI details but I have to say that I prefer the big Larry 2 at the moment…. It is just super simple and plenty bright enough. I had a flat tyre yesterday morning. 5:30am. The IF was just frustrating when i wanted to just get on with the tyre change and off to work. I need to dig the BL back out!

I don‘t think it can be turned off. There are several Reddits about the annoying UI and not being able to prevent lockout after 3 minutes.

ive found if i quarter turn when not using, when i turn it back on, the autolockout has gone...which is fine for me so ive got either manual lockout, or auto....

Word is there is a IF23 V2 which can remove the auto lockout.

Yeah, I did that too

Current EDC pen and pad is a MaxP micro with a small Rite-in-the-Rain pad, a Rotring ballpoint, and a pencil the same as that one in the pics, which is a tad too long for my tiny pouch. The pen loops aren’t good for pens either, I have to stuff all the pens into one loop.

I’m struggling to find the MRE items on here, any search tips please? I am probably just being blind.

Bad choice of my wording
items for diy mre items, not actual military mre

so small sachets, trail bars, protein powder, pwder pudding sachets, fortified milk pwder, wetwipes, small drink bottles, sachets of spices and sauces etc, very very cheap hand sanitizer, in fact works out good as a fuel...

If you are wanting traditional Rat packs (?) there is normally an annual group buy conducted on the forum. It UK rat packs as opposed to US MRE's.

Just thought I'd mention it.
