That the clicking hurt's a thing. I use them alot. It doesn't take many click's to start them (alot of time's just once). I worry way more about my scent. The wood's get's disturbed just by you walking in, ever notice how the bird's stop chirping and the squirrel's disappear, only to come back out in about 30 minute's. When you get in your stand, light it immediately before the critter's come back out. If you don't want to do that, light it a couple hundred yard's away as your walking in and clip it to your belt. I have also lit them inside my backpack to muffle the noise. They work !!!! Frank
