I can recommend the coleman twin area light, it's a rechargable lantern that's really sturdy, has 2 flourescent tubes and lasts ages on one charge.

If you buy a gas heater read the box first ours said not suitable inside tents. And we read that after we bought it!!!

Hi Paul, above is a thread I started regarding the mallet question, this was prior to Cemh 's thread.

Paul, you never know what the ground is going to be like , it could be like rock , it could be really soft. ok with any peg thumper and pegs if it is, but, you should invest in rock pegs , they are not fantastically expensive and can save a lot of frustration, and bent normal pegs,and you have them forever to use whenever needed. I always take both types and have been very glad more than once. If you take the advice about choosing a heavy hammer, you can't go wrong.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Hiya. Gaz lanterns are warm and atmospheric and sound lovely in the evenings. But also a battery lantern is good for when you first walk into a tent at night and are looking for matches to light the gaz and again in the night if you have to get up briefly. I reckon a bit of both will cove all grounds.
