I see a lot of people using these on beaches... what about in woods/fields/mountains while camping? Any thoughts on effectiveness in those terrains?

My husband has never used it on a beach. He's used it in desert, mountains, sagebrush terrain. We use it when camping. He thinks it would be effective in any terrain!

The metal detector will work fine in all terrains, the only things that will mess with it are areas that re high in metal content. Water puddles might not work real well either.

They should be fine at the beach. I use mine with my RV and there out in all kinds of weather. Amp wise running 5 sets I don't know.

I used mine outside with no problem. They really are nice/unique. I live at the beach so filled jar with sand and shells and it is really pretty at night.

yes they work well on the ocean we took our to Fiji and two heavy males were on them they worked well - obviously not on rough coral but on a sandy ocean they are a lot of fun!!!! Enjoy!!

I just use mine for off-roading/camping and they seem to hold up very well, I would definitely recommend them. I haven't left them in the sun so I'm not sure if they fade.

Beach use is exactly why I bought mine because the plastic ones are so crappy. I've had good luck using this on the beach!

I wouldn't hesitate to use them in that environment...I use mine as an all purpose wildlife observation tool and an aid in identifying game that comes out in the fields next door some 430 yards down range...

I still have mine and it works great on hard surface. If you launch on a beach it is not very good in the sand.

They are great for riding a "mountain bike" on pavement. Nice and smooth and quiet. They are very light and thin though, so off road use should be limited to well groomed trails. Rocks, thorns, or any other sharp terrain would be a killer.

I don't go camping but the mosquitoes are awful on the gulf coast and these sticks work great! I have one burning on my front porch pretty much every day to keep them away. They smell good too. :)

We used ours at the beach, if you can stake it down fairly well (not just in sand), it does pretty well.

I haven't tried them for trail running. I fish a lot from shore and tried them on slippery rocks, they worked fine but didn't hold the abuse. the chain broke away from the rubber holes. I don't recommend them if you're going to put them under a lot of stress. they might work just fine to walk from house to car or from parking lot to store.

I have only used them inside or in a drop light. I would not be afraid to try them outside if sheltered from weather and ventilated. CREE is one of the better manufactures but I have not tried them outside.

Yes these work great outdoors, BUT be aware that the light stands are really light and kinda flimsy so any slight wind will knock over the lights so if you don't other more half duty light stands then having sand bag around will do the trick or anything like sand bags.

We have used lanterns a number of times. As long as it isn't windy I see no problem using them over a wooded area. They will not come down until the flame goes out and they actually go quite high in the sky. They really are fun and neat to watch.

I primarily use my ez up for camping on the beach. I park the bed of my truck under the back and use the ez up as a tent. Just make sure you tie it down, the wind will blow it away. It comes in hand for BBQ's and teeball/soccer games too. You will find a multitude if reasons to own an ez up.
