Scout Master's Choice

By aggiez06 Ranked #365 - Cookware July 1, 2008

I am a scout leader and needed a lantern that I could hang in the tent after calling for lights out, and still have enough light immediately accessible should I need it that wasn't just a flashlight (broader coverage).

Pros:
- incredibly bright for any form factor
- great collapse / expansion design
- seems like it will last (feels solid)
- single button operation works well (easy for big fingers)
- live in Houston and like the NASA theme
Cons:
- a little hard to pack due to being scared I'll crack the lens
- though advertised w/ rechargable capability, can't find it anywhere
- would be great to have an optional A/C source when electricity is avail.
- my son wants one of his own and is a bit expensive for outfitting a 12 year old.
