Is that a salt shaker?

By Ranked #49 - Cookware August 11, 2009

No mom - it's not a salt shaker, it's a lantern. That's right, in ultra white this thing could easily be mistaken for a salt shaker it packs down so small. You have to really see it to appreciate it.
For something so tiny this thing puts out a massive amount of light, the secret has got to be in the dual reflectors and frosted globe. This thing will easiy light up a 3 man tent. I mean, it's enough to light up my entire 11' x 17' bedroom! The dimmer function is pretty ingenious, just hold the button down and it dims, blinks at its lowest setting, and starts getting brighter again.
I'm not one for carrying around a bunch of extra, uneccesary gear, but something the same size and weight as a salt shaker that can light up my whole camp?! Buy it for your next backpacking trip and leave the extra condiments at home.
