What are you using for a lantern, how do you like it, does it give
sufficient light, is it rugged, is it fuel efficient, what kind of fuel does
it take etc.....

I use a Coleman Xcursion lanternit is tiny and puts out light equivalent to
a 75 watt light bulb http://www.backpacker.com/article/0,2646,2070,00.htm
One note of caution bring lots of mantles because I have not found the
mantles to be durable.
For headlamps it is hard to beat the LCDs.  In Baja we were up hours before
dawn and the it was very easy on batteries.  -- MZ
