In my mind, the biggest risk we face is a grid down scenario, and light sources will matter which is what makes this battery powered LED camping lantern such a good addition to your preps.
Yes, candles and flashlights definitely have their place. I have both. There is something special about having an actual lantern that runs on batteries though. Not only does it provide more light than candles and a flashlight would, but unlike with a flashlight, you don’t have to hold it in your hand when you’re using it. To try to clear my mind and stay sane I plan on doing some reading in the evenings to help me fall asleep. This lantern will be perfect for that.
That’s if I get to stay in my home, which I think is a likely but not guaranteed scenario. Being out in the wilderness in the elements makes this device even more useful. The wind will blow candles out obviously, and if you try to keep your candles in your survival tent you risk losing your tent to a fire. You can also bring your lantern with you into the darkness if you hear noises and need to check them out. The lantern will light up the dark sky much better than a flashlight could, although I am not discounting the need for a good flashlight at all.
The thing I like best about this battery powered LED camping lantern is the price.
I ordered mine and I think it’s very cool. I’m happy with the purchase. I think it will provide good utility if I’m hunkered down at home, which is what I’m planning for ultimately, or if I have to get up and go and rely on the contents of my bug out bag once I get to my bug out location.
