| How to Buy a Fuel-Burning Lantern for Camping |
The light from a fuel-burning lantern is a source of warmth and comfort to weary camping human folk. Choose correctly, and a good lantern will last for years. |
| Steps: |
| 1. Expect to pay from $16 to $90 for a fuel-burning lantern. |
| 2. Choose a lantern that burns the same kind of fuel as your camping stove. |
| 3. Consider purchasing a dual-fuel lantern if you'll be backpacking internationally or in an area where white gas may be unavailable. Dual-fuel lanterns allow you to burn unleaded fuel. |
| 4. Look for a lantern designed to pressurize well under cold conditions, if you'll be camping in cold climates. |
| 5. Remember to buy a protective case. Most lanterns won't include a case in the purchase price. |
| Warnings: |
The fuel for such lanterns is highly combustible. Avoid refueling the lantern near open flame. |
