Head torches for bushcraft purposes: 3 indispensable winners
Bushcraft means going back to your roots, to living the life the way your ancestors did. It makes you feel incredibly free. This, however, doesn't mean you should be left in the dark. Especially during situations where you haven't mastered the skills you need just yet. Proper lighting like a head torch will then come in handy. Of course you want to respect nature as you embark upon a new adventure and we took that into account.With these three Fenix head torches you can enjoy nature at its full extent without bothering it.
