2 cell AA Maglite torch reviewed on indie travel podcast Craig and Linda bring light to the travel community with their review of the Maglite two AA battery torch. The torch is not cheap or overly light, but it lends itself to travel for three main reasons.

1. It’s very strong - it won’t be damaged by rough handling or the pressure inside a pack or suitcase.
2. It’s high quality.
3. It’s easy to find replacement parts like batteries and bulbs.

Then again, do you really need a maglite - or any - torch? Think about how to pack light - take what you will use, not what you might use.

We’re going to follow this episode up with a video post showing where to find, and how to replace, a maglight bulb. It’s so easy you’ll wonder how we didn’t know about it.

LED head torches are lighter and batteries last ages. For the fashion conscious, you don’t have to wear it on your head. Useful though, in cramped spaces, ie tent, or night time reading a book in a shared dorm. I used to hold a mag-light in my mouth, great for drooling spit
