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.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Expect to pay from $16 to $90 for a fuel-burning lantern.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a lantern that burns the same kind of fuel as your camping stove.

  3. Step 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. Step 4

    Look for a lantern designed to pressurize well under cold conditions, if you'll be camping in cold climates.

  5. Step 5

    Remember to buy a protective case. Most lanterns won't include a case in the purchase price.

Tips & Warnings
  • The fuel for such lanterns is highly combustible. Avoid refueling the lantern near open flame.
