I hope the young man responsible can step up and live a life worthy of two. What's done is done.
I usually carry a headlamp on my person. When it gets dark and I'm just hiking back to the truck I either have it on to guide my way or if it's not super dark I put it on flashing red. That way when peoples eyes start to play tricks on them in lower light I'm not mistaken for anything other than Rudolph, maybe I didn't think this through...
