our favorite camping lantern
The Ultimate Survival Technologies 30-Day Duro is our favorite camping lantern for every setting. After popping in three D-cell batteries, it's ready to light your way. It comes with four settings: high (700 lumens), medium (140 lumens), low (30 lumens), and SOS flashing for emergencies. We found the brightness on high to be great for lighting up the trail ahead while hiking at night, whereas the warm light on low was perfect for using inside the tent. We love the compact size and that it comes with a handle for carrying and a hook for hanging on tent loops or nearby branches. During testing, it fell from a hanging tree branch and there were no marks or scratches. Even after months of use, it still looks new. It also handled getting a bit wet and cold in the snow without issue.
