I got this lantern as a gift for when I entered scouting as a Pre-teen(I really underapreaciated the value) Now with my Back-packing, Mountaineering, and climbing endevours I can really apreciate this lantern for what it is. Really cool to see that someone super hardcore like Jeremy used it, it makes me very impressed.

I would say that this is probably because of the batteries. Batteries just don't work well in cold conditions, and I'd say that -5 is pretty cold. I've used this lantern in the mid/low 20's and it worked very well, which actually surprised me because the batteries in my camera died from the cold but the lantern didn't. But I guess -5 is just too much.

Gave out in the -5 degree weather for whatever reason. It would stay on for about 2 minutes and then it would randomly die. Other than that I absolutely love it. I would buy it again and recomend it to someone else.
