Lightweight lights

Article Abstract:

Two lanterns that fit into a backpack were tested for Alaskan back-country camping. The $25 Lumogaz 470 burns a butane/propane mixture, for safety, low weight, and cold weather operation. The $52 Coleman Peak 1's pump-pressure fuel system is better for freezing nights.
