Goal Zero Crush light lantern

This light is one of the office favorites! The Goal Zero Crush Light is a collapsable lantern that you can hang in your tent or even on a tree branch if you have to cut wood at night around camp. The greatest part, this light has a built-in solar panel that will keep it charged up when you're off hunting during the day. In addition to the solar charger, you could also charge it up with a USB cord plugged into any sort of charger bank if it gets cloudy on your hunt. A great stocking stuffer!

The Dark Energy Poseidon Pro is a solid choice for a power bank for any hunter.
