This is the old standby that everyone needs, just like the one Grandpa used on the farm.

Kerosene doesn't go bad and unlike camping fuel or gasoline, it is safe to store.  Imagine reaching for this lantern 10 years from now and not having to worry if it will work or not.  It will work and you know it will.  That's worth something, isn't it?

Put a couple of these aside and you'll find that you will use them more often than you might imagine.  There is nothing like the warm, friendly glow of a kerosene lantern on a dark night.
