Horace Kephart's Folding Lantern

[@JesseBCO18]

I love that you not only cover modern tools but that you cover tools from the pioneer days. I've said it before, you are a great teacher. This is God's gift to you, use this gift and you will bless many and be blessed. This is why you have so many fans. What you do is what you are meant to do, keep it up. I love you man!

[@SoapBoxPrepper]

You can still find the old tin ones, I guess they were used in WWI. Looks like something I might like. I really like these bits of historical kit you are showing, like H.K.'s Bedroll. Keep on making the videos, the best entertainment ever.

[@10088GILLEY]

One of the main reasons I watch your chanel is the history.

[@jackmaverick5481]

I have that same cancel lantern which is great, but a bit of advice... Don't stick the candle directly in the lantern or you will have a big wax mess in the lantern. Put the candle in a glass candle holder and drop the candle holder and candle into the lantern so all the melted wax stays contained inside the candle holder and not all over the inside of your lantern.

[@MrGoosePit]

I really love things like that lantern. The ingenuity of the creators from times past always amazes me. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@pepperheadtoo]

one of the many problems with this country is that we know so little of our own history ! keep up the good work! I personally love hearing these tales of the past!

[@MysticKnight38]

I have never gotten bored with you videos. You sir, are a wealth of knowledge.

[@FernHillOhio]

Absolutely love it! I checked ebay and there are several original antique versions anywhere from $45-$100. Thanks for pointing this out for us!

[@hugomontgoery]

This long hunter series is fantastic. Always appreciate the historical stories you throw in with the video.

[@mr.fisher3973]

I've had one of these lanterns now for about 10 years and I love it. It's a little more bulky than the popular UCO but I'm into the nostalgic camping so I use the folding lantern. I highly recommend this to anyone.

[@betterdesignservices]

History is one of our greatest teachers, I am certainly grateful for your passion in sharing it!

[@ericwright7643]

Getting bored is not gona happen. There are thousands of videos on youtube about how to make fire, shelter, etc... but this is the only place that I've come across to find this type of content. Thank you!

[@wldmcmullen]

i cant wait to see more videos just like this dont stop making them i love the traditional ways of living and the days of man really living not just being a drone in the world thanks dave

[@DiscoverTrails]

I don't get board with these videos, I find history very interesting and the inventions of the time.

[@lanedexter6303]

Interesting! I have a folding candle lantern like that, with spring loaded candle holder in the bottom. Candle projects below the lantern, and you periodically move it upwards as it burns shorter. Mine is made of aluminum, most likely purchased in the mid 1980’s, probably from Campmor but maybe Sportsman’s Guide or Gander Mountain.

[@daveblackerby5487]

Dave, we're never bored with anything you do...You're The Best!

[@HamsterPants522]

Before anyone asks, Dave has a lot of videos covering ways that you can produce candle in a self-reliance situation. It's definitely something to consider for the long term because lanterns, historically, have always been very effective for being able to see at night without blinding yourself next to a bright flame. I'm sure that a folding lantern like this would definitely come in handy if you were relying on it to see.

[@ttvgush8041]

NOT boring at all. Great new stuff you've been putting out. keep that going. Its appreciated and refreshing compared to what others are doing. Thanks Dave.

[@MegaWhiteboy1488]

i relly like these historical videos you do in a way it kinda goes back in time and shows where a lot of things we take for granted to day originated from and how in that eara it was a huge innovation

[@eatmorenachos]

History + cool tools/toys could never get boring. I love hearing about this kind of stuff.

[@LivingFinally77]

Keep the historic stuff coming Dave!

[@flamedrag18]

hard to get bored with you, you're always changing what you're showing, lots of variety.

[@gander2000]

Dave, I'll never get bored of your videos, really like looking at what has been forgotten in history. Please keep em coming!

[@doncole6088]

I have two they work very well and fit in a large ammo pouch with no problem. Thanks for your videos.

[@phattyj811]

Not getting bored anytime soon Dave! I love the historical kit, as it gives me new , innovative ideas on how to solve problems and be comfortable outdoors without a lot of crazy new tech. Basic kit that just works. As you say, " no muss, no fuss".

[@WayneTheSeine]

I never get bored. The lantern is awesome.

[@Kane856]

Never get bored with this sort of video Dave - keep them coming!

[@nathansuvivor8880]

Dave you are so lucky to not have any snow on the ground. Up in Minnesota we got 4+ inches of snow today alone. Any way i just wanted to let you know you are my role model in life character and all and please just keep making videos. as long as you are i will be learning.

[@TheWonderfulWino]

It is always an education watching your videos. You always get really excited when you share aspects of bush-craft history. It is always a pleasure seeing your videos. Thank you for sharing!!

[@northof50now]

I remember getting one of those at a small novelty shop on our family journeys as a kid. We never new exactly what they were for, but as a kid, thought they were cool. Can't believe I'm seeing one again. I'll bet there is still one to be found in the attic of my dad's house.

[@rwdyeriii]

Hey dave fascinating video man. I am a civil war reenactor & have learned so much from your videos on buushcrafting & survival from the old days. Thanks for having been on Dual Survival. I found you there & then discovere your You Tube Channel. You've become a favorite mentor of mine & I use your videos a lot to pass on knowledge of old school things to other people & to help me teach history to the public. Keep up the historical videos they're great & really appreciated. Much love to ya brother

[@TheBohannon]

Keep the historical content coming, that lantern was awesome!

[@CWintheWC]

Your videos on historical things and historical writings are my favorite videos of yours. Keep them coming!

[@cockneysparrowa.k.ashewolf7663]

love the idea of the folding lantern,i use a little lantern sometimes but it doesnt fold up,thanks for sharing this and the history behind it...take care dave.

[@Mountainbum1876]

Not one of your videos are boring. I really enjoy all of this 18 century historical stuff. Really interesting. Thanks for all the time you take to make and edit these videos.

[@wyattoneable]

That's a great piece of gear and an even better story behind it. Until I found you on KZbin I was bouncing around looking for a community I could relate with. Everytime I watch one of you videos, it's like coming home. It's comfortable here and I always learn something. Bordom is rare on this channel.

[@dragonchainz]

Hey Dave, just want to say, that I really enjoy these videos that contain a bit of history. I'm a history buff myself and always enjoy learning new stuff about old things.

[@389Lee]

I think they are highly interesting. Certainly not boring in the least. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

[@KyleEllis1989]

never get tired of these types of vids they are great thanks for making them

[@Aonarach1]

Bah, your history related posts are some of the best ones! Keep 'em coming!

[@ShinKyuubi]

Thank you so much for telling me where I could find this. I read about it in one of the outdoorsmen magazines I read and I've been looking for one of these as something like this would come in handy when on a camping trip for a lighter pack or when the power goes out to save batteries on flashlights since I have an interest in candle making.

[@TheHarleyhillbilly]

Dave I have a original Stonebridge lantern it is amazing how well it works. I also just picked up Kephart's Camping & Woodcraft book at the little shop in Cades Cove for $14.95 this past Saturday they had all of his books there it's hard to believe that book was published in 1916.

[@deanncindyfortino7588]

2 cool, back in the early days of rail roading they had a similar one, with a clear lens a green one and a red . Fold able and able to fit in coveralls .

[@NotLeft74]

Not bored at all. Very entertaining in fact. I really appreciate your videos. Don't stop.

[@cdanielh128]

dave dont stop thesevids please. fantastic to hearothers opinions on these historical docs, gear and mentality. its nice tt

[@BigPoppa-Monk]

Thanks for sharing this dave! I love history, and it seems everyweek I learn something new about how we used to live from your channel. Too many people today think light and heat come from a switch on the wall! HA, Keep the lessons coming brother!

[@kevinkrause744]

I had an aluminum version of this lantern back in the 60s-70s ,used it a lot for all my camp outs!

[@janreinli8761]

puts incredible price on the videos you post, and follow on tight. but miss you and see you on dual survival. on with the great work you do for us. Jan Åge.

[@BruceNitroxpro]

I'm starting to think I'm addicted to the wondrous things you find online... LOL My lantern is on order as I dash off this note. Later this year, I'm hoping to spend some quality time with my family where I can share "my treasures" during some camping experiences. We are planning to camp where I used to go as a child back in the late 1940s and early 1950s... Camp Crescent in New Hampshire. It doesn't get much better than that!

[@smallcat121]

Dave, it is amazing to find a lantern like that still made today. Absolutely fascinating.

[@Shannon_Lacey]

Absolutely fascinating! I really enjoy these historical discussions Dave. There is nothing boring about it. And that is a really nice lantern!

[@DonnyB]

Cool video Dave, I too appreciate the historical aspects of camping/wilderness living.

[@EricatBallaarat]

Thanks Dave I enjoy watching especially these historical items, as all your videos are full of great content thanks again Eric

[@mtslyh]

Another great video! I love the videos showing the historical aspects of wilderness survival. Keep 'em coming!

[@joshtiscareno1312]

Wow, this is really cool! I've always loved the Kephart books, and it's really amazing to see one of those clever pieces of old-timey gear back in production.

[@FISHBREATHH]

Not bored at all Dave, I find this type of stuff interesting. Thanks

[@tillpojkarna]

Not bored yet, this is really interesting stuff. I like the direction you are taking the channel and Im looking forward to more of these historically oriented videos.

[@nilodrallub7812]

Bored ? Hell No ! there is nothing cooler than early gear for a lot of us out here. Thankyou for making this !

[@mikekotwica1353]

Love all your historical videos! Keep it up Dave!

[@olegrayheadedfart]

Love the video's the mountain man era was my favorite time in history but all of it back then was very interesting

[@donalddicorcia2433]

Great concept. I use the modern iteration of this (UCO collapsible candle lantern) all the time.

[@1guyin10]

Interesting. I've seen those on the Garret-Wade site before, but figured it was probably something hokey. Might have to pick one up now. I've been doing old time woodworking all my life and Garrett Wade is a good source for those types of tools. Check out their large hurricane lamps too.

[@JGrous]

That's one very cool piece of gear! I would like to get one or two of those myself. It would really come in handy at any camp, primitive or modern. I could see myself hanging one or two at either end of my hammock.

[@rsll510]

Thanks for the info on a great man and author. I just down loaded his book and it is fantastic. His grasp of what works in the out doors is superb! Keep up the great work Dave!

[@buster3693ify]

Not sick of it at all mate. Good stuff. We used to use jam tins with the lid cut off (like normal), a hole in the side for a candle and a wire handle.

[@nerblebun]

Excellent ! I will buy a couple of those lamps. Not only will they fit nicely in a pack, they really look good. Thanks buddy.

[@jimconley6115]

Thanks Dave! I will be purchasing one of those. I seen them on their site before but always wondered about the quality.

[@CarlosPortoPhotography]

Nice piece of history of civilization.

[@patrickbrett66]

Nice simple design and a good compact storage system, I like it and I'd like to see you show off more stuff like this please :D It's not just about the Pathfinding for me it's about the history as well!

[@htfsurvivalpa4591]

a friend of mine has a folding lantern just like the one you have only his is tin and its from around the time of wwii. they are amazing little things. i will be looking at garrets lanterns for sure.

[@saltyseedog]

That's cool. I remember reading in the book backpacking one step at a time that back in the day they would bring a candle and they would find a can then cut a hole in the front to cast a beam out then make a handle from string I think?

[@m2me1952]

I liked this one alot Dave. Keep em' comin'

[@Taromovies]

Great folding lantern and always good presentations, there a lot of historical stuff which is really useful even today, there is also still a lot to discover from the old days, Kind regards from Switzerland, Taro

[@marshinthewoods9827]

Thanks Dave Always enjoy your videos. Love the historical stuff. I'm a firm believer in many of the "old" ways and items. Best Regards to you and your family~ Marsh

[@xenoptryx]

Very cool lamp! I'd like to have one. Looks fairly windproof.

[@carolinaprepper540]

I want one. Thanks dave for all you do.

[@HamsterPants522]

As Dave already pointed out, it isn't glass, but in the event that it does get damaged to the point where it would need to be replaced, the next best thing would be to take a very, very thin layer of animal hide and use that as the window instead. That's how they used to do it in medieval times, and it works.

[@sargefaria]

Bored with History throughout school, but you bring it to a whole new enjoyable level brother! Good stuff

[@walleyefishinrod3115]

Love the history Dave. Much to learn there!!! Keep up the great work brother...Rod

[@sticknstonesbrkbones]

That's cool. I have two candle lanterns, one brass the other aluminum, made in the USA by UCO out of Redmond, WA. There is one thing that I don't like about that older one. You have to carry the candle seperate. With the kind I have the glass slides down next to the candle and is protected internally. It's still cool seeing the older version though.

[@stompdancer62]

Dave , you need to sell those on your site ! very cool piece of history !

[@Mylokx215]

Keep the historical stuff coming. Nothing wrong with the Old Ways.

[@WoodlandGhost]

I have an aurora candle Lantern. It's brass and over 25 yrs I've had it now. They go under the name UCO candle lantern now. I use it as an emergency heat sourse under a lrage rain poncho or tarp for this. It has saved my butt in freezing cold rainy Nova Scotia wheather on more than one occation. I don't go in the bush without it. Candles last 8.5+ hrs each. Peace out

[@eatasammich]

Thanks Dave! I love your videos like this!

[@badvoodoodaddy1]

Dave, I love the Kephart series. Would love to hear more about both Sears and Kephart.

[@zeke111673]

knowledge is never boring ,keep sharing brother

[@usapatriotAK47-HollyBaglioHTV]

BORED,,,,,,pffffffff,,,,,,,DAVE,,YOUR VIDEO'S ARE RIGHT ON TARGET !!!! KEEP IT ROLLING MY FRIEND !!!!!

[@nantahalawildman6345]

Dave, I trust you have been to the site where Kephart wrote "Our Southern Highlanders". It is pretty easy to find the Adams-Westfeldt mines in the GSMNP. For the Smokies, it is not as saturated as you would think, outside of trout season.

[@primitivehunter18]

very nice i love all your vids on the flintlock 20gage is by far my fav gage

[@steffanoswald7917]

That is the coolest. I love historical stuff too especially the 18th century. might order 1 of those but, first I’ll try to make 1. Woodcraft and camping I’ll be reading that this summer

[@EatCarbs]

That's pretty cool Dave.. Thanks for the video.. I don't find them boring at all.

[@LumberjackDK]

I'll really like to se your channel, go there every day just to see if there is something new. It's gives me great ideas an alot of projekt to do myselv. Thanks from denmark!

[@stinger2509]

Definately cool Dave. I am a big fan of things from the kephardt/nessmuk era too. Cool and informative as always! Keep it up.

[@meggaroof]

Nice. A gig on the old school carbide lamps might be good too.

[@MordecaiV]

not bored! Fascinating.

[@3riverblades]

great piece of kit

[@renawheat]

I love this I want one!! Keep these kinds of vids!! Coming!

[@Zarthalad]

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing it Dave!

[@MrMrphil100]

Awesome share Dave. Thanks!

[@PhoenixCustomPrimiti]

Really cool lantern. Had to look them up and they do have quite a lot of cool tools. Thanks for sharing that with us and pointing us to Garrett Wade. Looking forward to your next in the series. BTW, did you locate a source for the mica windows in the event something happens to them?
