Gear Review: Goal Zero Crush Solar Lantern

Bouncing down the backroads of the U.P. we finally pulled into our “secret” spot to enjoy a little peace and quiet on a hot summer eve. Before heading out I tossed our Goal Zero Crush light on the dash to charge up on the road. When collapsed down, this lightweight inexpensive lantern is about the size of a small burger. It's built in solar panel charges on the go and puts out about 60 lumens of light, perfect for brightening up the kitchen to prepare a meal, tying on flies at dusk, or for getting in a little reading before bed. We have 4 that we hang around the van for a nice warm glow. Full power down to a romantic flickering candle mode, this has become one of our favorite van accessories!
