The Best Headlamps and Lanterns for Camping, Bushcraft and Survival

Welcome to corporals corner today. We're going to talk about my choice for headlamps and camp lanterns So stick around why because as usual we have an outstanding show coming up Let's go ahead and kick this off and say that there's several different choices out there for headlamps and lanterns In this video. All I want to do is go ahead and show you what i've been using and then talk about what i've upgraded to And I want to try and keep this in the realm of the common man Now for me the difference between a common man and a stupid man Is that the common man will buy once and cry once meaning he'll buy what he can afford or Save up for what he wants versus a stupid man He'll try and buy a similar item Two three four five or even six times in a feeble attempt to save money and in the end Spent double triple or even quadruple the amount of money and still buying the item that he originally wanted So with that mindset, let's go ahead and kick this off The yuko sprout camp lantern measures 2.5 by 2.5 by 1.9 inches takes three triple a batteries Has a high and low setting Magnetic lanyard and weighs 2.7 ounces Now i've owned this yuko lantern for about 18 months and it's great my opinion anything from yuko is outstanding Now a couple of features I like on here are the high and low settings The high setting is around 100 lumen and it's adjustable all the way down to 10 lumen Now the 10 lumen is a sky blue a light blue color which aids in night vision and it's outstanding as well The other feature I like on here is the removable magnetic lanyard Which allows it to transfer from a tabletop to a ridge line in seconds Let's go ahead and move on to the viz headlamp by princeton tech The viz headlamp by princeton tech is waterproof has a 200 lumen spot beam a 50 lumen flood beam Red lens for night vision takes three triple a batteries and weighs 3.2 ounces Now i've owned this princeton tech for about three years and what sold me on it was that it really was waterproof When you open it up, there's a rubber seal that goes around that battery case. It actually seals that case shut And I was up in vancouver, washington about three years ago And so I did an experiment said to myself i'm going to go ahead and hang here in the hammock It's pouring rain outside. I'm gonna put this on low setting and toss it out in the rain Next morning, I woke up Not only was the light still on but the battery case was 100 dry That's what I used to carry. Once again, they're outstanding items for the common man Let's go and talk about what i've upgraded to and kick this off with my led lenser ml6 lantern The led lenser ml6 lantern uses state-of-the-art micro prism lens technology giving 360 degree glare free lighting It can deliver up to 720 lumens Offers flexible mounting solutions by using a hook or magnet It measures 1.6 by 1.6 by 7 inches and weighs 10 ounces In my opinion this is a lot more versatile and has a higher lumen output So i'm going to upgrade to this now speaking of that lumen output. I mentioned before that it's up to 720 That's because you have a adjustable dimmer switch that allows you to control the lumen output And if that's not enough check this out not only is this thing rechargeable but it doubles as a power bank And the last upgrade I want to talk about is the mh8 headlamp by led lenser The led lenser mh8 headlamp measures 5.9 by 4.7 by 3.4 inches It ranges from 20 to 600 lumens Has a night vision and strobe options Has an adjustable headband And is rechargeable Here's what I love about that headlamp first off. It's rechargeable Second the lumen output ranges from 20 to 600. You can adjust it using the dimmer switch Next at the lens you actually focus it from a flood beam to a spotlight And lastly, you have three night vision options red blue and green Welcome back headlamps and lanterns are outstanding All this video was was me showing you what I used to carry versus what i'm going to roll with now The important takeaway from this video is the common man mentality Buy what you can afford or Save for what you want as always all the gear in this video can be found my amazon influencer page I'll toss that link inside the description box Please do me that favor hit that like and subscribe button then ring that notification bell Once you ring that bell, please select all notifications and as always thank you for your comments views and support Thanks for watching be out in the field have some fun i'm gonna catch you Next time
