Pelican's Survival Story

It's just another story to illustrate that the phrase Pelican Tough is more than just words.

Dear Pelican:

I have owned my Pelican M6 for over a year and I'm always astonished by how great a light it is, always working when I need it.  I'm currently doing a year abroad in the United Kingdom and the M6 was one of the flashlights I brought with me.  One night my girlfriend and I went on a night walk and she wanted to cut through a nearby park.  Halfway through the park, I noticed a man following us so I reached into my jacket pocket and clenched my M6.  A few minutes later he disappears and then reappears minutes later in front of us from behind a group of trees.  In his hand he held a knife and demanded my wallet.  Not wanting my girlfriend and me to be hurt, I handed it over but there was not much money in it, so he lunged for my girlfriend's purse and immediately I pulled out the M6 and shined it straight into his eyes.  As he yelled and brought his hands to his face, he dropped his knife.  Then I moved forward and struck his temple with the bezel of the M6 and that was enough to take him down groaning in pain, after that my girlfriend and I ran away.  I have been taking martial arts for 5 years, but without the flashlight, my girlfriend or I could have been seriously wounded.  It scares me to think what would have happened if I didn't have the M6 with me that night.  It gave me that extra edge and helped me neutralize the thief.  Oh, by the way, the light still works perfectly!

Thank you, Pelican, for making such a great product that is both excellent and dependable.  I have no doubt that your line of products will hold its place in my future.
