Thanks! Seen a few vids on this but still couldn't get my butane to refill it. Not until your tip about cutting that little notch in the tip.

they use a synthetic pyrethrin called d-cis/trans allethrin. you can purchase real pyrethrin and mix with water to refill the sponges assuming they are still in good condition. the real stuff however has a strong smell.

I’m not sure if you will see this but I have found success by attaching the adapter onto the thermacell fuel cartridge and then pushing the butane bottle onto the adapter/fuel cartridge when refilling!! Ty for conair tip!!

Can you tell me what you are notching?

You don’t have to use oil on diamond stones. It’s explicitly written in the instructions

Thank you!!! , I learned something new today 🤩👍

Great video. Thank you for making it.

Should I wear gloves?

The specs looked very good so I got one. Got in it and the only mod I did was to look at the 4 extra reinforced areas on the ceiling of the fly and saw where the 2 top short poles attach. The male end of the poles does not always fit into the reinforced fabric area. It can get a bit off if the fly is not perfect. So, I put strips of gorilla tape on those areas to add width to the area. So, the pole ends should never get on the regular single layer fly. Other than that, I'll get better stakes but that's always a need for new tents. It staked out, went up fast, easy, and the fly has a lot of ties for high wind stability. A ground cover will help. The tub floor seemed good. Don't abuse the zippers and take care of it and should be a great tent. The two doors should help with anti condensation

Amazing! Thanks for sharing !

Wow! That one sure is crooked, they're great lamps but always come either bent or dented when brand new lack of quality control so I just straightened it out myself when I get one

Pitty, your sound is for one ear peoples. In headphones is too annoying to watch.

Dean, your presentation is just FANTASTIC ! Taking me right back to my childhood when my grandpa in Sicily ( tiny village/town Castelmola ) was ALWAYS arguing with my uncle, " How wick in the lamp should be cut ". Thank you

I bought my Lansky kit like 28 years ago. I hated it then and watching this video reminds me that I still hate it now. 😂 Stupid bendy rods that always come loose in the stone clamp and the stupid clamp you have to keep moving along the blade if you actually want a consistent bevel across your knife and the angle holes which are so big the bendy rods wobble around inside. It's such a fussy, poorly-implemented system. Learn to sharpen on a flat stone. Done.

Cant the pads be used with a candle and eliminate the thermacell?

I get the same results. I also stopped by Hattersley Wicks. Don’t get me wrong, they’re very good. But the 6 foot rolls I get from Amazon from $5 to $7 work well. I honestly don’t see any brightness or runtime advantage to the more expensive Wicks. As far as the lifespan of the Wicks, I don’t see any noticeable advantage to the more expensive Wicks. So, I get the Wicks that have the best price at the time I order. Thanks for sharing your results, it’s most appreciated.

Thank you....there's no wrong way.....1st you didn't sellout as an Operator 2nd you did give a great recommendation for the average person

Keep going and you will learn the finer nuances of how to use it.

Wish there was a closeup of where the notch goes or a better description. Great idea!

can uo switc angles on oposite side of blades.

Sir, you can also use the white pencil erasers. I recommend the 5 pack for like under $2.00 or less.

This tent has been around for over a decade now and has undergone multiple improvements like better doors, 4 interior pockets, 50x87 floor space, newer 2 tone color fly’s, etc. But the overall rugged design remains the same and the price hasn’t changed much at all, currently $185 U.S. and can often be found for $129.99 during the peak of winter. But once Spring nears the price jumps back up to $185 to $220 (without footprint & only 10 stakes). It’s a heavy tent at 6 lbs for the 2-person version but the quality is top notch. The latest version also has loops in each corner of the ceiling to instal a small 3rd party cargo net. I don’t think North Face offers one but at least they added the loops so you can instal your own. Quality control is excellent with no loose threads, all seams are taped and sealed. Hands down this is the most rainproof tent I’ve ever used, period. It should be called the “StormProof 2” as it really is that good. My only complaint is it can be miserably hot in the Summer, even in the shade. It has ample ventilation to combat moisture build up, but not enough to equal ambient temps. Even with the fly removed completely, it’s still a bit warmer inside the tent than outside. It’s definitely a cool weather tent.

Thank you for an informative video. Will now get me a nice pincer tool for a good straight cut.

My lanterns knob is not adjusting the wick up or down. It rotates freely.

Great video - thank you. What type of fuel works best in Dietz lanterns for you? Kleen Heat? Dyed Kero, Clear Kero, Diesel?

😂this guys a clown!! Another one of your typical new KZbin, wannabe "Bushcrafter" idiots!!😂😂 A dime a dozen!!😂...Gotta love how all of a sudden KZbin is nothing but these fat, 40+ pasty-white nobody's, that are suddenly "EXPERTS" in survival, bushcrafting, hunting, camping, fishing, trapping, whatever...😂😂😂 when in reality, they've watched one episode of "Dual Survival" and now all of a sudden these clowns are overnight EXPERTS in all subjects outdoors!!!😂😂😂 give me a friggin break dude.😑 IM AN ARMY RANGER AND AN ACTUAL REAL LIFE SURVIVAL EXPERT AND BUSHCRAFTER!!! YOU SOFA-SLEEPERS ARE NOTHING BUT COMIC RELIEF TO GUYS LIKE ME!! MY ENTIRE UNIT AND I ARE FLIPPING THROUGH ALL THESE CHANNELS LAUGHING ARE ASSES OFF!!😂😂😂

Am I the only one who can see bugs flying around him even through these devices are switched on...??? Hmmm!!!

mine wont make smaller bags it keeps trying to suck never passes to seal setting then i put in full size bag works just seems a waste i tried putting scrap off cut left and right of smaller bag

Hi Dean, I watched your videos about lanterns many times, not so much because they teach me anything new, but because I love your voice, your presence, and the topics. I'm a lantern collector, and you helped me with understanding how they work when i started the collection 4 years ago.... Hope you're well, greetings from Belgium Mate . P.S: Dietz are great lanterns, even the new ones still available, though made in the Far East, I own a N° 76 and N°90 D-Lite, amazing lamps, the US quality is still present...(original tooling) just the globes are a bit thinner than originally... finding original globes isn't a big deal. I own both original and modern Dietz's

But I like pork chops

Thank you, informative.

What about using a ultrasonic cleaner?

Olive oil is good for keeping the blade from rusting after you have cleaned it. Since Silkys are carbon steel, you need an oil layer to protect them

Interesting video, just picked up one of these today, not realizing how old it was. Hopefully will last out for a while longer!

Tu peux faire mieux mais faut être bon 😊

Appreciate your channel: just getting into oil lanterns: my first lantern is a Diest 2500: I really enjoy appreciate the history of these lanterns as well.

Nice job! Did not know to gun oil after bluing. Thank you!

Thank you. Very informative.

Can anyone please tell me where I can get a GOOD 7/8" flat wick? The one that came with my Dietz is EXCELLENT. I ordered twice from 2 companies (one twice as expensive as the other, thinking "you'll get what you pay for", which wasn't true. That company being Light of Mine which was advertised as the company that made the wick in my Dietz. NO WAY these are the same wicks. Absolutely no. ) on Amazon. These wicks are terrible FLATTENED HOLLOW TUBES that only allow half the brightness I can get from the wick in my Dietz. Turn it up any higher, and the wick itself burns away in literally about 20 seconds. I could blow through 100 feet in one night at that rate. Any suggestions would be HIGHLY appreciated!

Thanks fir sharing my friend. New subscriber full watch. 😊

Good information. I just finished cleaning up several really old, really filthy lanterns. After a great deal of chemical analysis and scientific reasoning I wound up using the only can of spray within arms reach. Sea Foam top engine cleaner/lubricant. I sprayed them, left them set for a couple hours, scrubbed with an old tooth brush, wiped them off. It softened all the crud, didn't harm the original finish and left a nice sheen. Wadded up newspaper used dry will remove the soot nicely from the globe too. Just my two cents worth.

I think fuerhand lantern is more robust and well made than the dietz, have ever own the fuerhand lantern?

Excellent, thank you for the demonstration.

Gotta say it. WD40 is rust protection and a rust losner. It's not a lubrication, yes it lubricates a bit but it's not a primary lubricant. Grease is for high friction and oil is for rotating parts and a rust on bare steel protector. As a watchmaker, I've seen a lot of clocks drenched in WD40 and it's simply a myth that has to go. I agree it works in a pinch, but it's not a long-term lubricant.

I just bought a FoodSaver today after a huge buy one get one free sale on meat. Some bad stuff is going on, time to prepare if you're not already.

I bought a SVEA 123 in 1971, new, for $13.00. The good ole days!

i've been using my lansky for 25 years i've got used to setting it up and holding the knife by the handle thus iliminating the need for a vice or a bench works great no wabbling

A quick fix for a leaking fuel cap is to add an O ring sized 7/8"od X 3/4"id with a wall thickness 1/16". Also some Deitz lantern do not soften or grind the edges of the globes so the sharp edges should be sanded with a silicon carbide sandpaper to prevent adding red to its color.
