Not only do I get to listen to gear reviews, but the rain is so relaxing
I love REI. I live in Puerto Rico. Most of my gear is from REI. An Eureka and a Kelty. A Nemo Shadowcaster 16, amazing product, very durable. I was so happy to be able to visit REI Orlando. It was a dream come true, very friendly staff. Go REI.
Awesome video covering the main points, loved the genuine personalities.
Thanks very much for making this video!! I was looking for backpacking lanterns and what you reviewed is PERFECT for my needs! Just joined the CO-OP as it appears my work furlough has been extended. Just gives me more hiking/camping time here in Western Massachusetts! Stay safe guys!
For backpacking I always just put a bottle of water on a headlamp. That way I don't need to Bring additionel gear
Really cool video, I love the tips. I'll be looking into some of these cause I go camping once in a while. I love the sound of rain!! So soothing!! Thanks you guys!!
Ive used the Biolite Base Lantern every night for over 2 years in my off grid camper! Biolite products are some of the best around!
That's a pretty solid review, Elsa! You had us at off-grid camper!
Except they arent selling them anymore and they have a poor rating on the REI website...
@Him Him It seemed like they scaled a bit too quickly and their product quality went down over time. It's one year since I made this original statement and continue to use the Base Lantern every night in my camper I live in! It has held up extremely well. The solar charged Sunlight is their most underrated product in my opinion!
I bought a Moji and liked it so much that I bought a 3 pack when they were on sale at REI. So I now have 4 of them. One goes with me backpacking to hang in my tent, and all four will go with me car camping - one in the tent, and 3 hanging around the campsite. With Eneloop batteries, they'll provide me with enough light for a 3-5 day trip without needing to recharge (I don't always need full brightness in the tent). My old Orbit lantern now gets delegated for geocaching at night.
Neat reviews, cheerful outdoor people.. :)
Makes it more fun than a lot of very tech reviews.
You guys are waterproof. Awesome!
Thanks for the good video. It's nice to have the different categories explained.
It would be helpful to also include price of each item -- and maybe the weight for backpack-able ones. Thanks again for the videos. Keep 'em coming.
Love LuminAid! Have one, my bro has one and I gave one to a friend. Great soft light and it floats….
Best Lantern I ever had for camping was the Oxyled Q6 ice light . I can't seem to find em anymore. Mine is still going strong after around 6 years but would love to find em again.
Really like the luminaid pack lights. The biolite sun light is also great for hiking. Pretty light weight and small. Have reviews of the channel as well
My favourite lanterns:
- MPowered Luci Lux Pro: runs more than twice as long as the LuminAid, matte finish, another one of these is sent to a third world country for each purchase
- Snowinspring Hurricane Oil Lantern: 10 times cheaper and 4 times lighter than the Coleman, cheaper fuel (Paraffin/Kerosene), looks a lot more antique
- UCO Collapsable Candle Lantern: collapses to only 4.25 inches in height, spring always holds candle in the same place, makes for nice ambient
- There are also various alcohol lamps the size of a lip stick that'll run for hours, available for less than 5 quid.
So you are telling me that MPowerd is charging me double what the Lux is worth. I don't think that is something to brag about.
@@plmn93 I don't know what you mean... the item is well worth the money.
@@kevinklein4748 If they are giving away a free one for each one you buy, that means you are paying for two and getting one.
Informative
Thanks, Michael!
I have the luminad and its a great lantern. But after one full pH charge (I charged it fully before I left on my hike) it basically never was able to charge my phone. It was outside for 11+ hours of daylight with direct sunlight of 7-8hrs per day. The solar charger is very weak. So buyer beware..
i love how shes geeing out on the black diamond lamp
geeing? lol
@@Roger_Ramjet Scottish slang - gees a shag
I just purchase claymore 3 sided lantern. it's perfect if you are have a family and a tarp with daisy chain as a living space or it can go on anywhere on the site or just lantern stand.
My goalzero claim its 48 hours but I left it on 5 days, so it last me 160 hours
Liked for the dorito fire starter
Shocking that Luci lights were not selected. It's simply the best in terms of light weight and solar rechargeable.
that hair is fantastic
How water proof is that backpacking lantern? Wondering if you have on the outside of your pack and it starts raining. Great video!
I take my LuminAid when kayaking -- i strap it to the stern of my boat during the day, solar panel up so it charges up. It's gotten doused by (salt water) waves and spray many times, also rained on (i'm in the pacific NW, so that's a given :-), but has been going strong for at least 3 or 4 years now. Quite watertight.
@@DominiqueB helpful, thanks!
Love my lumen light for 24 dollars on amazon. Can plug in wall to charge or solar. Very bright only downside is attracts bugs which most lighting will do so.
That dudes hair is so cool
cutesy lamps
Coleman dual fuel is not running on liquid gas like propane, it runs on camp fuel and gasoline (I I believe). There is another version of coleman lamp which runs only on propane, which is obvious that one will be on top of propane tank.
I was very disappointed that they did not even show how turn it on properly, these guys probably do not know themselves how to do that. Also the fuel lamp is probably the brightest by far out of all these giving out more than 800 lumens.
How did you get your hair like that? It's awesome
Propane lantern on top of a gas tree. Not "old school", just The way it was intended.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
12 hours of sun…where do you live to do that, Tatooiene
These two ladies are so friendly and helpful
One of my biggest parameters that needs to be checked for me, and a few others I know that like camping, other then it’s size is it’s light color. I don’t mind the bluish led light color for flashlights, I’d prefer a more neutral white like 4000k, but for lanterns I can not use that 6000-8000k blue led light color, gives me migraines, I have to have something around 3000k color, a more warm light color and I know plenty who would rather have and would pay more for the more warm colored camping lanterns. So if any lantern manufacturers read this, please, please give the people who do not like or can not use those lanterns with the cheap blue led light colors, make some with more naturally warm colored LEDs. I know they’re out there, I actually have plenty, but they often are not available with all the bells and whistles of the better brands, and you’re kinda stuck with the off brand Chinese lanterns and lower battery capacities, just over all a lot more limited.
The biolite looks like a claymore mine
sick hair
when is we the moji WHERES THE LINK
In the description.
Real camping lanterns use white gas and mantles, but these are ok too.
I hate videos that review products that don't show them working as advertised in real life conditions.. eg IN THE DARK.
Best lantern: shine your headlamp into a bottle of water and save your money
hey i lived with Amish for a few years so was rite off grid lol... nobody fireing up the cookstove ( wood ) to make meals.... used some karosene hurricane lights but they kinda suck, mostly these gas lights... and coleman gas cookstove, in the house, every day, couple lanterns on in the evening.... i didnt like the pain in the ars of filling lights, stoves so i got propane lantern and the coleman " guide " propane stove that has 3 burners and one is bit bigger so more btu's and will boil a large coffee kettle quite a bit faster than the ole naphta gas.... they wernt sopposed to use such "modern" ( evil ) things as propane... but i couldnt keep mother from taking my stove lol ( they were not sopposed to have "English" , us, live with them but , you know, $300 a month rent for there small house attached to there house with a porch to avoid building permit.... worked out for us both, course ide yoink the ole mans deep cycle battery every night to run my 13"tv/vcr on lol, he pretended he kept getting bad batteries.... after a bit, you dont miss all the modern stuff like ya think ya would... old ma had a real pile of a ringer washer hooked to some old 2 hp motor that was here since the war.... i was at an auction and bid $2 on a MINT Maytag riger washer and if i dont get it lol, so i grabed her a 2 or 3 horse , new, honda to run it.... she friggen cried.... its the little things in life.... i miss my Arabian mare , that ma always took to town in the buggy cause she was the fastest, and the easiest to control lol. i miss being there, shoulda stayed, they wanted me too but
It's funny how they say "this GUY" when talking about an inanimate object. I like that Goal Zero Lighthouse 400.....(Seems like a really nice guy). 😎
Not a single one shown in a real world use case.
Let's do a light review and show people during the day! Great idea.....
Productive video until anyone would notice it's not done on the dark.. lanterns are useless if they dont produce enough light.. yes you could use a low dim light for reading but people will want a lantern for more heavier use e.g. setting up camp, walking, going for a 1 or 2 🤦♂️
1:22 red light is barely visible why its recommended to use while hiking in the night so your eyes stay accustomed to the darkness. Saying ‚there is a red light wow so cool so disney very useful to find your camping site‘ shows me that you either didnt field test this as you claimed and lied or you are incompetent on the matter.
Trip As lol
The rain is super annoying in the back
Don't bother with the first one, car camping. It's not even available.
But it’s not actually raining
Charles Phillips they would have had a pop up tent/awning over them and the camera equipment...
dude its clearly raining in this video lol
The Goal Zero Lighthouse 400 is terribly made. The Li-Ion batteries are cheap Chinese junk that refuse to accept charge if you leave them in storage for a few months.
North american lady! Ufff...
A very very fair presentation. Brother, you need to deal with that horrible hair and teeth.
All these lanterns except the last one are gimmicks which is the last thing you need in the bush, Typical millnenials view of the great outdoors.
Personalities are too annoying for me to watch the whole video
Super lame review.
