We have both gas and propane lanterns. The gas lanterns were the ones my family used when tent camping when I was growing up. I can't get them lit anymore so I bought a propane one to use until I can find someone to clean/repair the gas ones.
We also have a Gold 2-burner Coleman gas stove from my younger days and we use it every time we camp. We also use a small tabletop propane grill.
Yes, propane is much easier but I have such strong, wonderful memories with the gas items I can't bear to part with them. Makes me feel like I'm 8 years old again camping with my folks(who are now both deceased). The best times of my life were those summers!
