A
hanging camping lantern can provide both heat and light to your campsite,
but if you fail to follow key safety rules, your camping trip could
end disastrous. Some of these safety rules are:
· Hang the lantern in an out-of-way spot to avoid anyone from
accidentally bumping into it. The gas lanterns can be very hot and
cause serious burn.
· Use a ladder and a buddy – When attempting to reach
a high tree branch on which you can hang you lantern, make sure that
you use a ladder instead of climbing the tree with your hanging camping
lantern in hand. Ask a friend to hold the ladder for you.
· Make sure there are no leaves near the flame – If you
are going to use a hanging camping lantern at your camp, be sure that
there are no leaves or other items near the flame that could accidentally
fall on the flame.
· Keep it secure – It is important that your hanging
camping lantern is tied firmly and is unlikely to fall. A fall by
a hanging camping lantern could injure someone who is below.
If you remember to follow these safety tips when dealing with your
hanging camping lantern, your trip should be safe and pleasant.
