Interesting, never seen one of those before. May have to try that out.

I was looking at some collapsible lanterns too

The Micron's burn very nice and will heat up your backpacking tent in an instant (of course, use with proper ventilation so you don't end up doing the kickin chickin on the mountainside).

And only $15
