Hunting dads rely on torches for several reasons:
- Early Morning and Late Evening Hunts: Many hunts start before dawn or extend into twilight, requiring illumination to navigate safely and efficiently.
- Field Dressing: Tasks like cleaning and preparing the game often occur in low-light conditions, making a torch indispensable.
- Campsite Setup and Breakdown: Whether camping in remote areas or returning home late, a torch is essential for setting up camp, finding gear, and packing up.
- Safety: In case of unexpected situations like getting lost or needing to signal for help, a torch is a vital safety tool.
- Predator Deterrence: Some hunters use torches to deter predators like coyotes or bears from approaching their campsite.
