I'm more or less the same. It really depends on what I'm doing or going. I semi-solved this issue with a sling bag, which contains the majority of the things I might need on almost any given day, but add/remove things as needed. For example, if I'm going to a sports arena, I can't bring anything at all, but if it's a day full of errands around town, I at least bring the bag and leave it in my car.

Not at all. Me neither.

I like it a lot, it’s probably my most carried light. It’s especially nice if you’re wearing slacks and put it in a front pocket, longer flashlights don’t generally fit that space as well

Yea I switch to Orange for September October and November for fall colors, and then to red and green for December. I recognize that it’s very over the top lol. I get it from my mother lol.
