When I was young I did ultralight backing packing and could go for a week with a fourty pound pack. Now my wife and I fill and entire Xterra for two days with no kids. But at least we’re not as bad as you :) ;) It’s all your Coleman crap that’s the problem. I have no idea why you guys collect Coleman lanterns. LED lights are a huge improvement over those things with their radioactive thorium mantles that disintegrated if you look at them wrong. Sell all that stuff and you’ll have room for a friend to go camping next time :)

Let me guess. Imported from China? I will admit at the time they were brighter than anything else and we used them at base camps all the time. So how much are people willing to pay for old lanterns these days?

Spoke too soon. He’s gone.
That guy might know, but dropping down into the small village of Cuba nm, it’s 35, dude ignored that and tried it at 65, laid it down, slid across 4 lanes of traffic and a brick building, fortunately very early hours of the morning so no innocents

They're fun to work on and I love the sound they make.

As for LEDs, I took an old Coleman 220H to an overland event several years ago. Everyone with their Led lights and could barely see around camp.

I was lighting up the whole hill side with that old Coleman. And no recharging....

Check out this listing

I have a friend that lives in a tiny home on a rented lake property. Told him if he finds a big enough lot I would split it with him. This 1 might work good for us. And its only a 2 hr drive from my place and 45 min from his current spot.
