A base for a lantern. The base provides a stable platform for supporting the lantern and prevents tipping of the lantern. The base may be used with fuel burning lanterns or lanterns that utilize batteries or other power sources. The base includes foldable feet. The feet fold out of a plane of the base for storage, for example, downward from the plane. The base is turned over and the feet, when folded (upward when the base is upside down), extend upward around a portion of the lantern during storage. This configuration provides convenient, compact storage of the lantern and base, so that the base may be stored with the lantern and may protect the lantern in storage.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus, comprising: a removable base comprising: a pedestal for receiving the apparatus; feet pivotally attached to the pedestal and foldable between a first position where the feet provide support for the pedestal and the apparatus, and a second position in which the feet fold out of a plane of the base so that the base is positionable against the apparatus and the feet in the second position extend around at least a portion of the apparatus for storage; and wherein the feet fold downward from the plane, and the base is turned over to place the feet in the second position. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the feet extend substantially perpendicular to the plane when the feet are in the second position. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus is a lantern. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the feet are spaced to receive a control knob for the lantern when in the second position. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the feet are attached to the pedestal without fasteners. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the feet are attached to the pedestal without the use of tools. 7. A lantern, comprising: a removable base comprising: a pedestal for receiving the lantern; feet pivotally attached to the pedestal and foldable between a first position where the feet provide support for the pedestal and the lantern, and a second position in which the feet fold out of a plane of the base and the base is positionable against the lantern so that the feet in the second position extend around at least a portion of the lantern for storage; and wherein the feet fold downward from the plane, and the base is turned over to place the feet in the second position. 8. The lantern of claim 7, further comprising a recess in the pedestal for receiving a lower portion of the lantern when the feet are in the first position. 9. The lantern of claim 8, wherein the lower portion of the lantern is configured to attach to a fuel tank, and the fuel tank is positioned on the pedestal when the feet are in the first position. 10. The lantern of claim 9, further comprising a collar, and wherein, in the second position, the feet extend upward around the collar. 11. The lantern of claim 10, wherein the collar comprises a control knob, and wherein the control knob is received between two of the feet when the feet are in the second position. 12. The lantern of claim 9, wherein the pedestal includes a recess for receiving and supporting a fuel tank attached to the lantern when the feet are in the first position. 13. The lantern of claim 11, further comprising a carry case for the lantern, and wherein the carry case comprises a protrusion onto which the recess fits when the lantern is stored in the carry case and the feet are in the second position. 14. The lantern of claim 13, wherein the first position of at least one of the feet is adjustable. 15. The lantern of claim 7, wherein the feet extend substantially perpendicular to the plane when the feet are in the second position. 16. A lantern, comprising: a removable base comprising: a pedestal for receiving the lantern, the pedestal comprising a recess; and feet pivotally attached to the pedestal and foldable between a first position where the feet provide support for the pedestal and the lantern, and a second position in which the feet fold out of a plane of the base and the base is positionable against the lantern so that the feet in the second position extend around at least a portion of the lantern for storage; and a carry case for the lantern, and wherein the carry case comprises an attachment structure for connecting to the base when the lantern is stored in the carry case and the feet are in the second position, the attachment structure comprising a protrusion for fitting into the recess. 17. The lantern of claim 7, wherein the lantern comprises a globe, and wherein the feet extend around at least a portion of the globe when the feet are in the second position. 18. The lantern of claim 7, wherein the feet are attached to the pedestal without fasteners. 19. The lantern of claim 7, wherein the feet are attached to the pedestal without the use of tools.
