I just picked up one of colemans new excursion backpacking laterns,wow!! it's great, it lights up a small tent well enough to read. the easy loading with the power max fuel is fool proof and it seems to burn a long time ,I havn't run it dry yet. the only drawback so far is trying to get spare mantels, it comes with two, but I want some extras, if you take the bottom off their is room to store the mantels inside the base, a feature they don't advertise, I took a cold wrap (for a pop can) and use it to slide the whole latern into, they look pretty tough, but the extra padding might save a mantel. I highly recommend this latern to anyone who backpacks. h2m
