Camping Lantern - Many Types And Many Uses

The camping lantern is not something people usually talk about. When you do get the chance though, the lantern you are referring to probably will fall under one of the four categories. In any order these are the categories. - Battery - Gas - Liquid Fuel - Candle

The brightest light is produced by the liquid fuel and gas camping lanterns. The candle and rechargeable battery lanterns (when they go flat) are not the brightest. The ones good for the environment such as the hand cranking and solar powered camping lanterns are somewhere in between.

Depending on the camping lantern you have with you, or the one you have decided you want to buy, remember that you need to buy the accessories that go with it. Theses accessories include matches to light a candle or batteries in case the ones you have go flat or even some canisters for when the fuel runs out. Do not forget these important items.

If you want to buy a camping lantern then you have to think about the stores that would carry these. Well, no you do not actually because I have done the thinking for you. Big stores that carry almost everything will have a camping lantern. Hardware stores or kmart might also. Adventure stores will definitely have the range of camping lanterns so that you can make the best purchase.

Before you head off to the store, make sure you have a price in mind and do not exceed it, or try very hard not to. Hopefully and if you are lucky enough a big chain store might be having a sale and you can get a quality camping lantern for a great price.

You would be surprised that kmart and similar stores stock some pretty good camping lanterns. An adventure store, that can be otherwise known as an outdoors store, will have everything you want all in one place. However, a store like kmart might be closer to you than an adventure store and it is a camping lantern after all.

If you have an outdoors hobby then you know exactly where a store is that would have a camping lantern. They probably do not have any of the accessories that go with the particular lantern you get so will probably need to make extra trips to other stores. Not a great move.

There are many uses for a camping lantern. For example, my friends place has a balcony but there is no light out there. He has a few camping lanterns out there (battery operated) and they provide enough light. You can find out all the other uses by going to my site.
