Coleman lantern

Who still uses the good ol ultra reliable Coleman liquid fuel lanterns? I have a bit of a collection and use them all the time
My oldest is from the 20's

    I still have a couple of them around - They sure are too bright to use a campgrounds however... Always brings in a crowd asking what the bright light is all about haha...

    I use them mostly when camping off grid including tent camping... I also have a couple of those hanging lanterns that I like to hang in a tree on both ends of the camp site. These get turned down real low and burn all night... They will cast a shadow on the tent when things go past them...

    Now they have come out with the pull out hanging lanterns that are battery powered that runs all night...

  • Always and they still sell them. I have an oldie and one that is a year old. The year old one fits in a plastic case that stores in the closet. I prefer a presurized mantle lantern over the LED junk.
  • I do almost every trip. Brings back memories of camping as a child.
