    BUSHLITE Candle Lantern shout out

    Stonepark described it better than I could, essentially, when you twist to lock the candle tube. Making an indent will allow the tube to lock into the indent under pressure of the spring. Steve

    BUSHLITE Candle Lantern shout out

    Hi, Good to see some responses on this from other owners and of course some great debating points. My view on a UCO throwing off enough adequate light versus the bushlite still stands based on actual field use. Though UCO may work well for some, personally, I didn't think it threw out enough...

    BUSHLITE Candle Lantern shout out

    The bushlite lanterns use readily available standard candles that you can cut down to size, whereas the UCO are a bespoke size (thicker). They may burn for 9 hours, but are nowhere near as bright as the bushlite. I think it's likely to do with the height of the globe and the draw this creates to...

    BUSHLITE Candle Lantern shout out

    Hi, Thought my recent good customer experience with the supplier of Bushlite candle lanterns in the UK, I thought it was worth sharing and just to generally promote some awareness on how much brighter they appear to be than a UCO lantern. Not knocking the UCO, as I had one for a few years and...

    I have had a uco and also own a bushlite. I do find in all honesty, that you get more light from a bushlite (no pun intended). I put that down to the taller globe which inevitably pulls a longer flame. I use prices candles and yes, there is some wax clean up required and the trim down factor...

    Water filters. Which do you recommend for long term use?

    Can certainly vouch for the Sawyer mini, a great filter. Give it the occasional back flush with the supplied syringe and if camping in winter, keep the filter in your pocket to stop it freezing, expanding and consequentially, fracturing due to expansion of the frozen water within the filaments...

    What's with all these crossovers/SUVs?

    For some, maybe a fashion thing.. However, I do feel I have to defend the suv drivers amongst us and express the fact that for some, it's practicality. A blend of space for the kids and gear, decent ground clearance for the really rubbish tracks that they call roads around here and the fact it...
