I use this light for everything when it comes to finding my way in the backcountry at night. I recently used it to track an elk that i shot with my bow and without it's long lasting batteries and extra bright setting it would have been much harder to find my elk luckily it pulled through. I would recommend it with the rechargable battery pack for an added boost.

This would be a great light, but if you want more power look at the Princeton Tec Apex. It is more durable, waterproof and voltage regulated. A much better light but it costs more.
