Why I still use a propane camp lantern 🏮

I have an electric lantern and a electric lamps when I camp. It at one level doesn’t seem to make much sense to also use a propane lantern.

But the fact is I have the propane already for my camp stove and heater in cooler season, and the lantern uses relatively little fuel on the 20 lb tank compared to the camp stove and heater. The lantern doesn’t go dead like a battery does, it’s rare that I run out of propane as I fill the tank when it’s low.

It doesn’t accidentally get unplugged or go under voltage as the electricity sometimes does. It generally works well except in those exceptional cases when I break the glass globe – and then I often will keep a spare globe on hand.
