UCO Micro Lantern

One rule of survival is that all items in your kit should serve more than one purpose. If the gadget is not multi-purpose then it is not worth including it in your survival kit.

Take this UCO micro lantern for example. You will find below that it has other purpose aside from providing light.


Collapsing lantern is made of aluminum. Lantern holds two tealight candles


Glass chimney creates a windproof environment for the candle. Attached bail and chain allows lantern to be hung anywhere.


Burns all varieties of tealight candles.


So what's its other use? It can keep your coffee warm for 8 hours(that's how long a tea light candle lasts). I don't have my stainless cup when I took this picture so I just used a can to show you how.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
