An avid night fisherman and camper, I currently have two of these lanterns, and had a third earlier. These are great! I have had them out in some of the worst weather imaginable withing the past few weeks. I've never had the first problem with them lighting or staying lit.

I actually left one burning during a horrific storm--long after me and my fishing buddies retreated to the truck. It barely flickered in the wind! I would definitely recommend this lantern.

It's easy to set up (you can have it burning within minutes of buying it), easy to use (screw on the propane bottle, and light it up) an gives you several hours of use on a single propane bottle. No mess, and it cools in under 20 minutes even after burning for hours.
