I'd like to second the Clip Flashlight.  I've used it for years
backpacking in the blue ridge mountains and this year I carried it on a
solo trip around Isle Royale in Lake Superior.  It fit nicely in the
boat, went up quick, and kept me dry and comfortable during some
exciting overnight thunderstorms.  It would be tight for two, works
great for a solo.
