How to Pack for Lighting Needs for your Camping Trip

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Bruce Lessels from Zoar Outdoor for expertvillage.com talking about camping. When the sun goes down at night it’s important to have some way to see and to go about doing tasks such as cooking and putting yourself to bed at night and setting up your tent if you need to in the dark. So a headlamp is good way to do that, they make some really nice headlamps nowadays, this is a LED Headlamp that has a rotating bulb so that you can change the angle of it. It keeps your hands free and allows you to concentrate on what you’re doing with your hands and gives enough light that you can really see what you’re doing. If you want to use sort of more defused lighting, you want a way to see to read or to do other tasks at night, a propane lantern is a great way to go and these of course are bigger and harder to carry in a backpack but if you’re either canoe camping or car camping a propane lantern can be a great option and can give you plenty of light around the campfire or the picnic table or just outside reading in the last few hours of the day."
