I can imagine you would sleep better using just firelight. Some of my favorite memories are using lamps and the wood stove.

[@rrrandommman]

I have two of these Dietz lamps, they're such a great design and never let me down.

[@robcicca]

I am pretty sure the main advantage to that Deitz lantern design is that the flame does not go out in windy locations.

[@runlarryrun77]

Nothin like a good oil lamp. I always take one whenever I go camping. Got caught in a storm last year & being able to have the lantern in the tent at night providing just a few degrees extra warmth made all the difference.

[@BulletproofPastor]

That's a great benefit of oil lamps in cold climates. I wish I could find a good answer for off-grid air-conditioning. We live in the Gulf Coast of Texas and can only tent out for a few months each year. We're retired now and planning to move a few hundred miles north for a full growing zone change.

[@pyromaniac1491]

I use an Aladdin mantle lamp to heat and light my home for years! Nice white light! My Coleman 237 is my work light and sometimes my Coleman 249 or 236 are used. Dietz are my constant lights. The air pilot and blizzard are my favorite dietz. Feuerhand is another great SOLID kerosene lantern!! Lehman’s and cottage craft works are awesome!

[@fp4man542]

I've got a couple of Feuerhand lanterns, and they certainly feel well made. I'd love to try some Dietz lanterns, but nobody seems to import them to the UK.

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

Tip. Any kind of oil lantern with a handle, never grab the handle. Use a lantern stick/ hook.

[@uphillhomestead6188]

We use the Dietz in our off grid home and love them!

[@joshuamoore24_7]

Camping and mining is another good use for these lamps. When in mine shaft if the flame starts getting dimmer, the oxygen level is low and it's better to get out of the mine.

[@1crazynordlander]

I bought three Feuerhand Lanterns from Lehman's and a Kerosene stove from St.Paul Mercantile. To be honest I have not used the lanterns but used the stove to pressure cook with. The stove is a monster.

[@jamwar764]

thank you for your videos.☺️

[@dpower02]

I like the oil lamps and use them as a back-up if you are going to decide to use them you should source an oil supply, lamp oil is not available like it used to be, also you should buy a few extra wicks of the size that you need they are not always available local.

[@DustinDean]

We have a few oil lamps that We are using and love them

[@BulletproofPastor]

Great video. We have lots of oil lamps including a Dietz from 'pre-China' manufacture. As for emergency lighting LED is now so energy efficient you can use a small solar panel to charge a gel or AGM battery that will run several LED lights all night. I used my LED flashlight to find something way back under a cabinet and two days later noticed that my flashlight was missing. YUP! I found it under that cabinet and it was STILL LIT! I couldn't believe it but on three AAA cells it gave continuous light for over 48 hours. I'm wiring our house for emergency LED lighting that will come on whenever the power goes out. It could easily be used for off-grid lighting without the fire risk.

[@hanorabrennan9202]

Hope you know that LED lighting flickers at such a rate human eyes are unable to keep up with. They are also hypnotic.

[@BulletproofPastor]

@@hanorabrennan9202 Good point, The same is true for cell phone and computer screens with a small number of people (thankfully) experiencing serious consequences. Personally I would prefer living in a remote off-grid cabin, half way between god-forsaken and who-knows-where but until then the energy efficiency of LED lighting works for many.

[@candidegunn3624]

We have hurricane lamps that we have had for over 40 years and no telling how old they were before we got them. They last forever and are always ready when the lights go out, no batteries and the oil is cheap.

[@shredders3881]

Do you have to replace the wicks if they've been sitting around too long, or are they good until they fall apart?

[@FlavioFalcao77]

Very good

[@darlacurry149]

Congratulations Julie and family! You are approaching 100K subscribers:)!

[@user-fh6gn5lh1w]

Amazing!

[@themadscientest]

Dietz and other draft lanterns aren't ideal for indoor use because it isn't as clean burning as a draft lamp, a well tuned draft lamp should put off almost no odor from the combustion. Also prices for modern lanterns can be better than the prices of older lanterns, especially ones in very good condition and pre-war with tinplate. I was thinking about purchasing an Aladdin for power outages because while a generator is good it is less than ideal to run it all night. A fuel burning light that is bright enough for reading would be great, especially one that isn't pressurized or very thirsty.

[@dirtpatcheaven]

I agree.

[@DonnieJLCarson]

Do you and your man also farm or grow crops? If so definitely a great lifestyle!

[@indicalover9261]

[@Taigathemoss]

ash mixed with water works best to clears soot as it binds with it and also is abrasive.

[@dirtpatcheaven]

Interesting

[@bridgettwilliamson2384]

What brand of oil do you use?

[@bryansesco9671]

Isn't that Deiz lamp the one that was always settled the barn on fire in the tv series "Bonanza"?

[@dirtpatcheaven]

LOL! Probably.

[@kygent508]

What lamp oil do you use?

[@Lisaairbnb]

Whats a good oil you use in your oil lamp? Can you use olive oil?

[@alcopower5710]

You can but use only 100 percent cotton wicks. There’s a video about a guy making wicks out of old tee shirt. Just make sure it’s 100 percent cotton

[@bestamerica]

' i have a good blue oil lamp in my home plus smell good from oil... only power line turning OFF... or pleasure night time

[@Lindasromperroom]

I use Klean Heat because it was recommended by another Homesteader. I have new oil and a new wick. I trimmed it as directed and I still have an odor. Any ideas? I do live in a well insulated house. I even cracked the window and could still smell it.😢

[@hanorabrennan9202]

Dirtpatch? Any reply please?

[@carguy.4591]

@@hanorabrennan9202 they do have a scent to them unless using Odor free lamp oil.

[@squatchfromearth4076]

Klean heat will still have smell, even odorless lamp oil has a smell. Hard to place it but kinda like heated wood

[@Lindasromperroom]

@@squatchfromearth4076 your absolutely right! I had to get rid of all the lamps I got! Candles for me, soy!

[@judycharl1173]

I’ve read that it’s also a safety feature to have some fragrance. If you smell it too much, time to turn it off. If you’re using odorless, more chance of not knowing when there is a build up of fumes and/or carbon monoxide. Not sure if it’s true, but it would make sense.

[@kathymarsden5757]

you are so close to 100,000 subscribers !

[@mcwooley]

Do you know why the ignition on these isn't built in? I haven't been able to find an answer I would think it is safer than lifting the globe and using another fire source to light it

[@paladinsmith7050]

150+ year old design.

[@dirtpatcheaven]

You know I am not sure. I love the blue one, it is so easy.

[@christianhansen3292]

U know A Good Clock maker like u have on the wall? i have one but the swinging mechanism broke off.

[@racer67]

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

Have you ever had a lantern where the flame goes down into fount. I have had this happen, and then you cannot control the flame.

[@dirtpatcheaven]

I haven't. I just twist the wick up a little.

[@kevinstruke1031]

It sounds like you're wick is too small. With the right size wick it's impossible for the flame to get below the burner.

[@nol1379]

Your blue latern is a copy of a signal light used on railroad. Keep it from Mrs. O'Leary's cowand your barn or house should be safe and try a mirror reflector behind the lamp to send away from it in a beam aka T. Edison style.

Ever HEAR of an Aladdin's MAGIC Oil Lamp? "So Easy a Child can Light it. So SAFE they Can!" They have a wick and a MANTLE like a pressure lantern but DON'T have a pressurized tank of benzene fuel, that needs to be pumped during operation and can explode. They also use about 1/20th of the oil per hour that a kerosene lantern does and put out typically 4000-8000 as many lumens (YES, about equal to a 300 watt light bulb or 4200-4500 lumens!!!). I own two Dietz lanterns older than you and I, brought from my Grandparent's farm In Arkansaw in 1941 to Tulsa, they used for milking. But my Momma's 7th Birthday Present, her Aladdin's Lamp, I also have. Guess what I use when the power fails? No smoke, no fumes, no problems-Aladdin's Magic Lamp. Her's cost $12 in 1935-about $275 today.

Dear, sweet lady, I pray that you will find more income to build a better home than corrugated iron. It is such a contrast to see such a refined soul living amidst such a primitive setting. Heaven help you and your family to better days ahead. Thank you for sharing your experiences with the public about how to use oil lanterns. A light for one is a light for a hundred.

[@oneanddonetzone3673]

No disrespect but you should at least know the name of the product you’re about to tell us about without having to look

[@dirtpatcheaven]

I have a lot of products that I don't know the name of right off the top of my head. Living off grid was a lot of work and making videos on top of that made it difficult to do a perfect job when I was just trying to get information out there.

The gospel :Jesus (God in the flesh) died for our sins and when we believe God raised Him from the dead, repent and put our Faith and trust in Him, confess Him as Lord, He gives us a new heart and desires and the Holy Spirit. Therefore we are no longer slaves to sin but free in Christ Jesus. Jesus is the only way to life and life eternally (John 14:6), If not with Him you are already spiritually dead and a slave to sin. There is no, 'your own master' (John 8:34). We are to forsake everything in the way of following Him and walk in the Spirit. To become apart of God's family and recieve rewards in heaven. And best of all have an intimate, inseparable relationship with Him. Jesus is coming back soon and who shall be able to escape His wrath? (Rev.6:16-17)
