In this video I will be going through the lanterns, lamps, torches (flashlights) and head torches that I use for bushcraft overnight camps, wild camps and backpacking trips.
Starting with the good old paraffin or kerosene lamps, candle lanterns and a gas lantern, I then show you my battery powered torches, markers, small reading lamps and a few of my head-torches. I will show you how to use each model and compare the brightness and usability of each one.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
