What is the additional equipment recommended to carry with a flashlight for emergencies?

  1. Extra batteries

  2. A spare bulb

  3. A lighter

  4. A solar charger

The correct answer is: Extra batteries

It is important to have extra batteries when carrying a flashlight for emergencies, as batteries often run out of power. Having a spare bulb is not as important, since bulbs are usually long-lasting and rarely need to be replaced. A lighter is also not recommended as a backup for a flashlight, as it poses a fire hazard and may be unreliable. A solar charger may be useful in certain situations, but it is not a necessary or practical addition to carrying a flashlight for emergencies. Therefore, the recommended additional equipment to carry with a flashlight for emergencies is extra batteries.
