I've asked if they have a tested strength for their straps and buckles - haven't gotten a reply yet. My gut feel is that the buckle won't break - I think it's...

An interesting idea Tim. It’s something like that I’ve been toying with in my mind for several years now, but haven’t solved the safety problems. As ...
Black Wolf, like you I bought my Cand-oil lantern a long time ago-but is it still available on the market? I seem to remember that it has been discontinued...
