The Best Bear-Fighting Tactical Flashlight

Once in a while, a man feels the urge to go out into nature and fight a bear. You do it, I do it. We all do it, there's no disputing this point. We know we're all going out fighting bears once in a while, because we all say we're doing it and why would so many of us say we're out fighting bears if we weren't?

Of course, we're all fighting bears almost exclusively at night (which is why no one ever sees us fighting bears), so we need flashlights as hardy and robust as our iron knuckles. We need to track the bears, discover their dens, we need to dazzle them with high-lumen strobe features, and we need to be able to see the bears while we fight them. Illumination, in bear night-fighting, is key (as we all know).

Whenever I personally go out bare-chested into the woods to fight bears, I take with me the 3-in-1 Klarus RS20. Its different-colored LEDs give you excellent options during tracking, from the green LED for reading our maps of known bear locations, to the blue LED which will help in tracking blood trails for when your bloodied ursine opponent gets away and you need to find them and finish what you both started. There is also a red LED which provides an excellent distress beacon, but since none of us have ever lost a bear fight despite the very real danger, you'll never be in distress, so there's no reason you'll ever need it. It's just there because it's cool.

It's the brightest flashlight for bear-fighting in more ways than one. It also provides a side light with excellent flood, which undoubtedly both you and the bear will appreciate while you wrestle in your ancient, primal contest of pride or death.

We all fight bears, we all know it. It's definitely happening. And if you want the best bear-fighting tactical flashlight available, you want the Klarus RS20. Unless...you're the only man who isn't fighting bears?
