When you are camping you have a couple different choices for lanterns. You can use propane lanterns, gas lanterns, or battery powered lanterns. But propane lanterns are one of the best and most commonly used as a good source of light when camping. However, you need to be careful when using one. Make sure you are not making one of the mistakes below when using your lantern on your next camping trip.
1) Run Out of Propane - When you are using a propane lantern for light you will want to make sure you have enough propane for your entire camping trip. It is always a good idea to carry an extra supply of small propane bottles. Nothing is worse than running out of propane and not being able to use your lantern on a dark night of camping.
2) Touching a Lit Lantern, Caution! They're Hot!!! - It is easy to forget how hot a propane lantern can get. Never touch the glass or the top of the lantern. Many people each year get burns from touching a lantern while camping. Remember to use extreme care and never leave the lantern unattended as they could pose a fire hazard.
3) Damaged Mantles, Not Having Spares - One common issue with using lanterns is needing to replace the mantels. They are very delicate and can become damaged. So, it is a good idea to always carry a few spare mantles.
In conclusion, a propane lantern is a great piece of equipment when camping. You just want to avoid running out of propane, always carry extra mantles and be safe when using one.
