2018 January - Recent Events
Posted by Roy Wristen on 10th Jan 2018
Recently, the Fraser Valley (BC, Canada) had a freezing rain storm that destroyed many trees and damaged power lines (I was without power for over 24 hours) - but the ice coating was very lovely (wish I had gotten more pictures).
While most everything is back to normal, there are still lingering effects. My internet connection before was already a little troublesome, but I was able to manage it. Now, it drops more often, particularly on heavier websites (such as wiki articles or updating the MackOutdoors website - note: The storefront for the customer is light weight, the backend that I use is heavy).
Because of these issues, I have products on hand that came in just before the freeze that I am attempting to list on the website. Being able to post this blog post is a good sign that I should be able to get the products listed with at least a basic listing (no data) and add to it gradually.

Another announcement is that I need to suspend the option for pickup from my home.
I can still meet at an Aldergrove location (or possibly Langley/Abbotsford) for order pickup.
The reason is that my father is currently getting chemotherapy treatments and I would like to minimize as much risk as I can.

Look for my next blog posting soon - as soon as I can get the new products up with even a basic listing I will post about it.
Flashlight Sizes
When considering what flashlight to get, one of the things that should be considered first is the size. Yes, output (lumens) and run time are important, but the best output and run time flashlights available are useless if it is the wrong size.Our categories separate the flashlights into what we see as their best fit.

2016 October Restock and New Products Update

It has 4 truly independent bays so the number of batteries and [...]
Prime C2 Pro XP-L vs XHP35
This is a subjective review. An objective review would look at just the data and have no opinions... in this case, I don't yet have data to compare so I can only give my subjective opinion. We just got in a batch of XHP35 flashlights from Armytek. As of starting to write this, full specs of [...]
2016 August Armytek Restock and New Products
We just received another shipment of Armytek products.When we received the XHP50 Wizard, we were impressed and so were some of our regular customers. They sold so well that we had to restock them.Now, a few other models have been announced to be coming out with the XHP35 LED. The XHP35 is smaller than the [...]
May 2016 Armytek Shipment - New Wizards
We received an Armytek shipment again, so time to list off what we got again. This shipment is all about quantity and not variety... mainly because we still have stock left of several Armytek models and we are expecting more models to be updated (back-dated?) to the XHP50 Array LED.Of course, let's start with the [...]
