Light sticks will be popular if the SHTF. Some even last eight hours. There are even IR light sticks you need night vision gear to see them though.

Keep in mind these also have a shelf life...something I recently leaned after storing many for a decade+.

Yeah, but if you don't mind seeing in colored hues you can purchase tubes of the wrist sized ones for under a buck at target. I use these as reward night lights for my young ones. I keep them stocked and rotated. When it thaws I plan on introducing the boys to the joys of wilderness survival where these will help them. A very cheap form of emergency light that can be packed and used for numerous things.

Another point that could be brought up in this trade section that would be good food for thought... (excuse me if this has been brought up but I am new and have not read EVERY thread (yet)), anyone ever thought that some of us locals could participate in group buys together? You can find some real good deals when purchased in extreme bulk but few of us actually have the money to purchase a full year supply of things.
