Description
Lantern / Bat Lantern from Mil-tec
Bring the coziness on your next adventure.
A well-known lantern / bat lantern from German Mil-tec.
The soft, calm, and warm light that the bat lantern/lantern emits is really gentle on your night vision. A headlamp can sometimes be too harsh and it definitely kills the coziness when you’re sitting by the campfire wanting a quiet moment. Even at maximum brightness, the lantern is not disturbing in any way, and you can turn the flame down so much that the light is barely visible anymore.
Remember some extra wicks for the lantern, which you can find HERE
Lamp oil from Polar for your bat lantern can be found here
If you’re looking for aLantern Holder / Spike, you can find them HERE, which by the way is hand-forged.
A clear advantage of the lantern is
...that it shines for ages. At least that’s how it feels, as it easily lasts through the nights of an entire weekend. If you’re sleeping under the open sky, it can be really cozy to have the lantern lit all night, and even the next morning there’s plenty of fuel left to easily last another night.
Personal experience with the bat lantern
In my world, the two bat lanterns are an essential part of my trips. If there’s room for them, they come along—every time! Originally, I got two as Christmas gifts, one from my brother and one from my mother. They immediately asked if one should be exchanged, but I had no doubt. The two were meant to stay together and follow me everywhere, forever. I only use my headlamp when I need strong work light; otherwise, I let the campfire and the two kerosene lanterns do the job for me.
