Old-school tracking with lanterns
https://oodmag.com/old-school-tracking-with-lanterns/
Coleman lanterns work so well, in fact, they’ve been used in blood tracking classes for decades, including law enforcement courses.

What can I but enumerate old themes,
First that sea-rider Oisin led by the nose
Through three enchanted islands, allegorical dreams,
Vain gaiety, vain battle, vain repose,
Themes of the embittered heart, or so it seems.

I have two mostly for decor at the camp.
But I did track a bear with one and gutted it a few years ago.

It’s hard to improve on the lantern.

My wife and I do a fair bit of off grid crown land camping up rough old bush roads. I have two of these that get used regularly and as has been said, they will light up the whole campsite. Hung from a pole high enough and on each side of the area, there's no shadows to trip you up when you go to top off your mug (hot chocolate, get your minds out of the gutters). Maybe not as convenient as some battery/solar lights, but I haven't spilled a drink yet!

Although Coleman doesn't recommend it,we use three of them at our off-grid camp,one in the kitchen and two in the main living room when not using the generator. We hang them from the rafters on heavy gauge wire to stop heat transfer. They light the whole camp up like the airport. I hope Coleman never goes out of business.

For you who may have experience-if the Propane Coleman lantern matches the White Gas one in light emission?
I have a propane lantern(bought if for tracking-used it once,found the deer.....).Wondering if it is par to the traditional one?

I have 4 or 5 but expensive to run these day's. I use battery powered LED Lanterns.

You're still a pup non traditionalist.
