I like the general lighting in this video. You forgot the sexiness factor of the lantern. I want one.

In a limited capacity, the oil lamp will also provide heat as well.

True. I’ve held my hands close to an oil lamp for a little heat before.

I've always really liked oil lamps simply because making a useable lamp oil isn't too hard if you have some basic knowledge and will, but it's relatively easy to get most places as well, and the ambience of a lamp is simply comforting. Can't beat a protected source of open flame, either, for bushcraft purposes.

Flashlight and oil lantern. If you have to you can render oils and animal fats to use in it. I do have batteries that will last effectively indefinitely though with portable solar charging for flashlights, radios, etc. Fire is a practical heating, cooking, drying, preserving, and sterilizing method, so being able to maintain and transport fire in a weatherproof lantern can be very useful. Turned down low these will last a whole day on one full tank.

I have oil lamps snd lanterns for the winter because they put off about 1800 BTUs of hear and midsize battery led lanterns for spring summer and fall for power outages from severe storms the battery ones are much brighter but Im with you Id choose the oil lantern over the led the light is more alive and natural

The heat given off by oil lanterns is their cold-weather superopwer, I think.

I like the oil lamp light because it's easier on my eyes. I see led and I want to shut it off but with fire I want to stare at it. As for in the house I'd have to choose led with small kids.

I think the wick, like in your lamp or one of those old zippo lighters for example isn't supposed to burn, at least not so fast. I think it's the fuel that is carried by the wick that burns. :)

Truth. But you go eventually need to trim the wick.

I bought a couple of vintage style edison bulbs. I've been thinking about building a lamp fixture into an empty lantern enclosure and putting a bulb in as an indoor lantern solution. They have a warm, ambient, almost fire-y orange glow to the filament. Not sure if they work with dimmer switches. For the flicker, I might just throw in a moth! 😅

I have Edison bulbs on the corner of my kitchen counter, where we have some bar stools. I love the light. Your idea sounds like a great project.

Haha, I've never seen a smaller led lantern! Was it one of your Christmas Tree ornaments? For ambiance, yes the oil light, for practicality when needing to guide your way to the outhouse in the middle of the night I'd go with the led but perhaps one a bit larger. Also, that little lantern can be hooked to your dog's collar at night! Thanks for the laugh. My poor Oil Lantern has been on the back porch for years. I might have to fire it up again.

Yeah, it’s a tree ornament. The whole video was a bit of a joke. I actually have an LED lamp in the camping stuff, but it wouldn’t have made me laugh to make the video.

@@RaindanceBushcraft I thought that tiny lamp was hilarious and you rocked the deadpan comparison of both, but the comments seemed serious supporting your reasons. Then I was afraid to comment thinking I was taking it all wrong. Genius humor, thanks for the laugh.

The oil lamp I assume it should be safe for indoors, that's the only type of lamp they had hundreds of years ago, no LED or any other lamp during that times :). Greetings from the woods in Sweden 🇸🇪
@RaindanceBushcraft2 жыл бұрын
I’ve used it twice indoors now during power outages with no issues, so I feel a lot better about doing that. I just cracked a window nearby to be safe. I would love to go camping in Sweden one day.

You need a different wick at that temperatures the oil isnt as liquid, this kind of wick can’t suck up the oil fast enough and ends up burning away super fast.

@dannelson8556 Жыл бұрын
I'd take the LED all night long, they have leds with warm light about 3k, that Oil lamp burns about a kilowatt hour worth of energy to give you the equivalent light output of a 1 watt rechargeable LED lantern, A rechargeable 1 watt led lantern with two 18650 cells will run about 48 hours between charges and they can be charged with the portable battery packs designed to charge cell phones, just for comparison, you would burn 2 gallons of kerosene for every 1 charge of the LED, Oh an the kerosene lamps stick and they deposit soot on the ceilings when used indoors

Of course we pick the oil lantern. I might use the LED to see to get the oil lantern lit, then stow it away. The LED looks like something I'd give to my grandson.😆
