It arrived without warning, the way the best things do. One evening the campsite was dark; the next, a warm amber glow was spilling across every table.

The problem with camp light

Most lanterns are either blinding floodlights or sad little glowsticks. Nothing in between. Nothing you would actually want on the table at dinner.

Meet the Drifter

The Drifter Lantern is solid brass and black enamel, with a dimmer dial that turns like an old radio. It charges over USB-C and runs up to forty nights on low.

"It weighs less than your boots and outlasts your whole trip."
