Rainy night deep into the woods in the Adirondacks and I needed to follow trail markers with no flashlight. Not a chance. I flicked a lighter's sparker to flash a momentary light. Another one was riding a bicycle in a VERY dark spot in New Zealand without a light. I would ride until my wheel hit gravel, feel for the edge with my shoe, then continue to follow the road until I ran into something.
