Use Headlamp to Make a Portable Lamp

lamp lanternWhen you're camping, traveling by car, or sleeping under the stars, you sometimes want a light source other than a flashlight, headlamp, or fire. Whether it's reading book, writing in your journal, or hanging out with friends...sometimes you just need some subtle ambient lighting.

This portable lamp is just a gallon milk jug filled with water, with a headlamp pointing into it. It's a clever repurposing trick that creates a great soft light perfect for reading, writing, or illuminating the outdoors. The milk jug filled with water cuts down the glare of the headlamp and diffuses the light quite nicely.

Try it the next time your hanging out outside!
