Another topic on the forum got me to thinking. I am considering a Lion Stinging Safari. Does one need a permit? Cites perhaps? Can someone recommend a PH who does this sort of thing?

Now for the equipment. What would you recommend? Flashlight.......Push switch (tailcap button version) or Conventional contolled switch mounted on top. Perhaps a remote switch? The remote switch sounds too complicated and problematic.

Now for quick reloads. Would it be better to go battery or rechargable? I'm thinking battery as there may not be an outlet handy for recharging and time may be of the essence. Does anyone make a battery speedloader? Lithium or conventional Eveready?

Would a two cell lithium have enough power or should it be a three cell? I am sure the PH will have a three cell for back up. Does anyone make a double flashlight or would duct taping two together be suficient?

Without going in to brand names I already have one called a "stinger" and also a scorpion (which also stings). I wonder if this is how they got their name? Should I go with what I have? Or since this will certainly be a "once in a lifetime" experience would that be a good reason to buy a new flashlight?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me in this area.

Sting the wrong lion and that's a prophecy waiting to be fulfilled.

I was thinking that lion has been done.If I could be the first to sting a leopard maybee I could get a big time deal.Of course there are servals, genets,caracals.Do you think a lazer beam would be needed to sting a cheetah?I better contact my P.H. I could be the first to sting all the cats.Note to self think up catch phrase for stinging africa cats.

What the hell is lion stinging?

There was an ad about how Craig Boddington managaes to "sting" a lion using his Surefire at night by flashing him in the eyes temporarily blinging him. Supposedly he was carrying meat back at night and the lion was stalking him.
