$39.38 - Primus Classic Moonlite Lantern, Seriously Bright and On Sale
Another great deal from Steep and Cheap, half-off the Primus Classic Moonlite lantern is sweet, especially when it’s worth (almost) twice the regular price.
This little thing is one of my favorite pieces of gear to bring on just about any trip. As small and light as it is it’s worth the extra 6-8 ounces for some comfort on backpacking trips, it’s a great heat source during winter trips, and on summer trips that aren’t in the middle of the desert it’s awesome to cheer things up during gloomy or rainy days. It only weighs about 6 ounces (including the protective case) and is smaller than a standard light bulb - but probably puts out as much or more light. At full-burn it gets 9 hours from one small (~200 gram) gas canister, and since you’ll probably only need to run it a half-burn that means any trip less than a week probably won’t even require any extra gas canisters than you already bring.
As usual, some “sounds-like-your-mom” cautions: don’t keep the lantern inside a tent or snow cave without a lot of ventilation or when snow is falling - you could end up suffocating inside the tent when it burns of the oxygen; and don’t keep the lantern right next to where you’re sitting during spring or summer trips because it will bring extra moths and flying things around (the light doesn’t attract any extra mosquitos though, since they can find you perfectly well without any light).
