Attitudes toward camping run along a spectrum. From endurance to extravagance. From ordeal to opulence. Some see the campground as an arena where Man does battle with the primordial forces of Nature. Others see it as a nightclub without a roof. We may all be sharing the same forest, but we’re not the same.

Vanishingly rare is the gear that satisfies campers along the entire spectrum. The Camping Lantern and Bluetooth Speaker is just such a unicorn.

The survivalist will grunt appreciatively at its rugged construction, its IPX6 water resistance, the fact that the light lasts for 9 to 20 hours per charge, depending on brightness. If any lantern can get gnawed on by a coyote during a thunderstorm and keep on shining, it’s this one. And all in a unit that stands 7.6 inches tall and weighs just 28 ounces.

The glamper will luxuriate in the rich 20W Bluetooth sound, keeping the rhythm pumping for 12 hours with the lantern off or 6 hours with the lantern on. If their matcha whisk or nose-hair trimmer needs recharging, they can plug it into the built-in power bank. They can even pair two of these speaker lanterns for stereo sound, because if something is worth doing, it’s worth overdoing.

We can’t promise that these two types will always see eye-to-eye once they’re out in the bush. But during packing time, we’re sure the vote will be unanimous in favor of The Camping Lantern and Bluetooth Speaker.
