1) Run Out of Propane - When you are using a propane lantern for light you will want to make sure you have enough propane for your entire camping trip. It is always a good idea to carry an extra supply of small propane bottles. Nothing is worse than running out of propane and not being able to use your lantern on a dark night of camping.
2) Touching a Lit Lantern, Caution! They're Hot!!! - It is easy to forget how hot a propane lantern can get. Never touch the glass or the top of the lantern. Many people each year get burns from touching a lantern while camping. Remember to use extreme care and never leave the lantern unattended as they could pose a fire hazard.
3) Damaged Mantles, Not Having Spares - One common issue with using lanterns is needing to replace the mantels. They are very delicate and can become damaged. So, it is a good idea to always carry a few spare mantles.
In conclusion, a propane lantern is a great piece of equipment when camping. You just want to avoid running out of propane, always carry extra mantles and be safe when using one.
