The sound of a gas lantern and stove running always brings back fond memories

[@mannys4539]

yup I sure do miss those 2 degree burns waking up in the middle of the night to piss in the woods lol fond memories indeed

[@FuzzyBrains555]

Damn it, don't get me interested in lanterns 😉

[@JackOSUrulz]

Exactly...now all the lanterns on eBay just went up by a factor of 10 or so....

[@TheJohndeere212]

I have seen some lanterns costing over $50 on EBay these days.

[@LizzyTexBorden]

Too late I'm bettin'.

[@MrDbro94]

Saw the title and instantly thought "I could use a nice bright lantern for night fishing" lol

[@bassassassinnn7459]

I was dissed by a 10 year old yesterday while I was at the park with my kids. He asked me if I needed any whale oil for my lantern. I'm only 32 and I felt as if I were 60. Damn.

[@nathankeel4308]

Lol that's funny my friend

[@Dsdcain]

Just wait man, not too long from now you"ll look at 60 as not terribly old. I'm 50, half a century old, and 60 doesn't sound old. Your comment is funny as hell though. Made me chuckle. *:-)*

[@treroney4720]

David Raful Smart boy knowing how they work. I would’ve been impressed

[@howard7689]

I'd have asked if he had any, the braincase oil from the sperm whale is the best gun oil ever.

[@harrisonmantooth3647]

@@Dsdcain Ya'll's just kids 🤣. Wait until you reach the 3/4 Century mark like me. By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode. I love the ol' coal oil lamps and Coleman Lanterns. I have a number of each.

I do, actually! Specifically oil lamps.

[@jeramyw]

I collect anything old, interesting, and/or high quality. Old stuff was built to last. New stuff is built to break so you gotta buy another. Wood, steel, cast iron, stone, high quality glass, etc. are awesome. Basically anything but plastic, but some plastic was actually high quality.

[@Kez_DXX]

[@cheekymonkey444]

I have collected Coleman lanterns for a few years. My last count was around seventy five. Plus two and three burner stoves. Also G.I. stoves. They are getting harder and harder to buy at decent prices. I hit about half a dozen flea markets and can usually find a couple of lanterns. When you start collecting you'll buy up anything green. Then after reality sets in and you find your running out of storage space. So now I am more selective in my purchases. I have lanterns from the middle 1920's that work like the day they were purchased. An added bonus is if you can get a lantern dated on your birth month and year. That is special and you can burn it on your birthday. Most people I talk to have fond memories as a kid sleeping over at grandpa's fishing cabin and making breakfast on the Coleman stove. Or out night fishing with your dad and hearing the hiss of the lantern and the hiss of an unfortunate moth getting too close to the glass and crashing and burning. They are almost all repairable. Parts are readily available. Most lanterns I get only require a clean up and they work perfectly. Enjoy the hobby and the wonderful stories people will tell you about their memories of lanterns and stoves. Also if possible light them outside, then when they are operating correctly, take them indoors. Just as a precaution. P.S. I have yet to get my birth lantern. I need September 1952. I have August, October, and November. I'll run across it one day. All part of the fun of collecting!

[@mattemal6054]

you are so right. I grew up in the 70s and remember going camping on the upper texas coast with my parents and cooking on an old stove and fishing all night by the light of a couple of Coleman lanterns.

[@Hatch61]

I have a double mantle Coleman lantern, "Special Boy Scout Edition" that I won in1969 at a scout jamboree. It's still in brand new condition.

[@ROOSTER333]

This inspired me to get my grafathers old laterns out(he's gone now). I spent all day yesterday getting them to work. Thank you for this. I had a good day because of it

[@frankpyles7038]

Such fond memories I have, deer hunting, fishen, Boyscouts, etc, I sure miss the old days, old veteran

[@tylerfields2733]

I learned more about lanterns today than I ever thought I would in my life. All this talk about knobs, rods, and prickers got me excited lol

[@bencessna7232]

2 years ago a buddy and i went out to his cabin for a hunting trip and a big unexpected storm came through and knocked out the power so we busted out a couple Coleman lanterns

[@Ididerus]

It's amazing how men can stare away fire for minutes or hours at a time, not a word spoken.

[@PilotTed]

Ahh the relaxing nostalgic sound of a Coleman lamp. We used them when we went camping with the Cub scouts and boy scouts. My pa and I still bring at least one with use on our hunting trips.

[@cvincent2340]

They also put out some heat, I used to have a shack in the winter a kerosene heater and a Coleman lantern kept me pretty comfortable

[@Sizukun1]

Theres nothing wrong with additional content beyond guns. Interesting content is always interesting.

[@rick4649]

Brings back memories of camping and deer hunts with my dad. He was a Coleman fanatic. Everything we used was Coleman.

[@rupertmcnaughtdavis3649]

Firearms and oil lamps; two of my favourite things.

[@larryalexander4833]

Oil the pump to keep from drying out and get a seal

[@davestelling]

Great hobby, Chad. The sound, and smell of these takes me right back to the day, hunting up in the Maine Allagash...

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

I would love to see you guys testing and reviewing old military lanterns . Just about everyone a had a good ol lantern in the old days . I love my Coleman Northstar lantern .

[@michaelthacker6121]

Absolutely wanna see more! Lanterns are a part of American history and culture for sure

[@Echowhiskeyone]

Love my old lanterns and oil lamps. Always work as long as you have the fuel.

[@markallen5866]

Instantly reminds me of my childhood. As a Scout in the 70's I remember the old coleman flaming up like a fireball while lighting it. I never knew what would happen when we fired it up.

[@romeowhiskeylima556]

The best survival lantern will run on anything: gas, kerosene, diesel, Chad's left over hair gel.

[@Glocktard]

[@7ctransportcarpenter557]

Great to see this video , I collect them too and really get excited finding the older ones!!

[@4doersrc758]

Back in my early days of deer camp. Our cabin has no water or electricity and we use to play cards with 2 Coleman lanterns. I love Coleman lanterns. They remind me of good times with my dad, uncle and cousin

[@Wildturkeey]

The box made for the 220 was a project discussed in detail with measurements in a fur fish and game magazine in the 80's. Thanks so much for sharing. I bought a petromax 829 like your aida because of this video. Been collecting guns for 31 years . Love you guys videos.

[@matersworkshop6123]

You guys just brought back some good old memories of when my parents and I went camping. That was how we would light the area and cook. I still have the lantern and stove. Thank you very much!!

[@nanomaine]

That was great! There are countless varieties of liquid-fueled lanterns, stoves, and heaters. Some lanterns have cooking attachments. Old lamps and stoves, can be super inexpensive - so a cheap way to collect useful equipment. Lawn sales and Craigslist will get you some. Many KZbin vids and forums on collecting and fixing them, too. I'd love to see a whole series on this subject! Thank you.

[@adamshusta9886]

Good change of pace fellas. Enjoyed this video!!!!

[@Tac333]

Finally some appreciation for lanterns

[@solinvictus39]

The prices on these lanterns just went up 50% on ebay thanks to this video...

[@ryanwenz]

One of my favorite favorite videos of you guys in a while. So much fun!

[@terrystotzheim9719]

Fun video! I have a couple of Coleman lanterns also, and a gas stove too! My dad had it in the back of his Ford truck and for Deer hunting we would go to the truck for dinner, my mom would make sandwiches and heat up a kettle of soup!!! Great memories!!!!

[@isoplus3513]

Gotta admit, I did enjoy this video more that I thought I would... Thanks for sharing

[@joshuakeiser4445]

Earliest one my dad has is 1920's he's selling. He said it takes a special type of valve to get the gas in.

[@wvpok]

Super awesome video! I love old lanterns and camp stoves. Used some this past weekend. Love seeing the other hobbies that gun people have.

[@davestelling]

Oh, and I totally understand your enthusiasm here, Chad. Good going, friend!

[@trapperscout2046]

My personal favorite happens to be the UCO candle lantern. I use it for camping and I also love the smell of beeswax.

[@uh60ce1]

This video definitely brings back memories. Nice change of pace guys. Awesome video 👍

[@far-away-so-close4540]

Good video. It brings back so many memories of camping in the '80's with my friends, out in the woods, cooking at night under the light of a couple Coleman lanterns, after a full day of hiking or canoeing. Good times.

[@drake0145]

I think Chad likes to be referred to as a "lantern enthusiast".

[@JackedALF]

Eric's reaction to the different lanterns is the best part.

[@chopper0130ab]

Boy Scouts in the learly 70s , Coleman lanterns were a way of life in the Maine woods , still to this day . Thanks Chad , great memories returned with this . Volume 2 to follow .

[@BJRUThere]

Epic vid. Love when you guys show off random stuff peripheral to the guns. I already have the guns I want so it’s nice to get a break from reviews and such.

[@FosterFarmsOk]

i have to say thanks to you guys for this. A few months back before my grandfather passed i got a lantern from him. at the time I had so much going on that i just stuck it on a shelf in my barn. Went straight home after watching this and noticed its a 228D from 1948. So excited now to get it back running. Its in great shape just needs a tune up im sure. Thanks Again!

[@RacerJim0]

Hope you got it running! Just got my long departed uncles 60s milspec running from the two he left in my parents garage. So loud!

[@Tainomontana]

This lantern video is one of the most entertaining ever.

[@lindanelson8400]

Pretty cool video, definitely reminded me of camping trips with the family when I was a kid. I like boxes of old ammo, doesn't matter what kind as long as it's old and the box is cool.

[@mattparker2716]

I love old Coleman, I have a couple stoves and lanterns, I'm fascinated by the process of using them. I'm also starting to collect kerosene heaters, they are a nice backup plan for heating the house or using out in the shed.

[@boatnut64]

Chad, I've been collecting Colemans for many years... Some may call it a "Strange Hobby", but they are fantastic, and will last forever, with just a little maintenance... 👍👍👍

[@RunDub]

Cool video! I always have my Coleman stove and lantern when I go truck camping. Can’t beat the old stuff.

[@camperspecial9666]

Youve blown me away with your knowledge and comforted me cause i own a dozen or more lanterns and 50+- oil lamps.

[@treroney4720]

Ha, he’s gotta green lantern

[@kepanoid]

Thank you, guys. Very much appreciated! I've restored two Aladdin mantle lamps that used to light my dad's childhood home, and boy are they cool! The smell, bright light, nostalgia. And as you said, "just in case".

[@kepanoid]

Well, they are actually not *literally* cool. In additrion to light, they produce extreme amounts of heat as well, so you can keep an entire room lit and warm with one of those!

[@kbjerke]

Coleman lamps and stoves are indeed iconic. I love mine, and should go looking at yard sales for a couple more of each! Thanks for the video!

[@dojmike]

A very nice departure from the usual topics (which also love) but thank you for the variety.

[@wadesmart9801]

love this video, i went to the barn and asked dad to learn me up on them ill be restoring his 71 200a for our trip to santee this coming fall, thanks gents keep the vintage sportsman collectables coming

[@patthegunsmith]

What a great video and thanks for taking the time to light them up.

[@runnerofnigh]

Have to say good vid. Also I guess I really am a hillbilly, the lanterns I had as a kid and still use are the old kerosene wick kind. Never really been around are used the kind show in the vid, all in all cool.

[@ulflyng]

Feurhand always work

[@timberboy1984]

I've always had a passion for the old lanterns rather it be Coleman.

[@jakedunning9995]

I enjoyed this way more than I expected...keep 'em coming!

[@hillbillyingenuity7859]

Cool video! Have watched your gun videos for years. By a weird coincidence just brought a couple of my old lanterns in from my shed today and started cleaning them up. Thought Id check KZbin for some rebuild tutorials and there you are with the same ones. The small green and red one you have are the same as mine. Also just acquired 2 more from my grandparents estate, one is a big hat version. Always loved them. Glad to see you all have an interest too. You've got a great collection, thanks for sharing. Been talking to my son about building some wooden storage boxes. You've inspired me to get to work.

[@bradmarthafocker4285]

Excellent. That was very enjoyable and I'd like to see more of it. Made me realize that I need a good lantern in my collection.

[@mrgauges9065]

Hell yeah those are cool. The paint, glass, metal, fuel and warm light they make, nostalgia ect, a hobby id be into if I didn’t have too many already

[@jeepnicc]

Nice. I love old Coleman stoves and lanterns. Got a 1969 252a that I believe is one of the coolest lanterns Coleman ever made. Also have a '79 228J with the big hat, even have a little 226 backpackers lantern that I bought new back in the early 90's and brought with me on trips in the Trinity Alps. I even like some of the newer propane Colemans for their quietness and convenience. Great vid, thanks for sharing!

[@woodcrafter76]

I'm going to have to build a box like that for my lanterns now.

[@KRT045]

woodcrafter76 that box was cool.

[@TheOldMachines]

Awesome! I've been collecting coleman lanterns for years....one of my favorite collections. Nothing is better than pouring fuel into a lantern from the 40s that hasnt run in decades and firing it up to produce significant light output. Keep up the lantern content lol

[@houston_goonhoagie2093]

“We’re going to light one up “ 😂

[@mr.weaver2682]

I’ve been watching you guys since the beginning and I never knew you liked lanterns. I’ve been collecting about the same amount of time. My rarest lantern is a 228 Gold Bond that was given to me. My best stove is an A46 marked GI pocket stove. I bought it on the Coleman’s collectors forum about 10 or more years ago for 60$ shipped. Keep up the good work.

[@thezuch7342]

Thanks for the nostalgia Eric and Chad. Dad always busted one 9f the green Coleman's out when we were camping. I was always amazed at how bright these things are.

[@Snugglez187]

Seeing a couple grown men not afraid to nerd out in public just reassures me that I'm normal, lol. I really enjoyed this video.

[@jeronimomacias481]

This video is too cool. Way to bring back memories. I love the old coleman lanterns. Definitely do more lantern videos.

[@Cyborg_Actual]

I remember my dad using these whenever we went camping when I was a kid. Still love those things.

[@PlatypusAurelius]

This is excellent. From a guy who grew up on a farm needing to use lanterns, this is right up my alley.

[@johnallen3205]

Never thought I was a collector, but I have 8 of them. Because I like them. Garage Sales mostly like about 5 bucks or so.

[@blake1315]

Great video , definitely need more episodes with camping & survival gear reviews 👍.

[@salsalero1277]

I've been collecting lanterns for about 30 years now and I use them too, they're great for night fishing.

[@bassmangotdbluz3547]

Coleman is definitely the John Deere or Harley Davidson of Lanterns.

[@arkansasstone5331]

I got into lanterns before firearms, collected them, and rebuilt them. They were cheaper to collect than firearms, so it was one and still is a hobby of mine. It probably helped directed me towards collecting firearms when I got older, gave me appreciation for variety and age.

[@darkoni3677]

Awesome branch off, I'd love to see other cool items like this, stoves and whatever

[@4doersrc758]

I have my great grandparents Coleman lantern and Colman stove. The lantern I believe is a 220 from 1955. Just fired it up. (With a broken mantel) lit up like a dream.. cool video.

[@ioatommyboy]

I somehow missed this video last year. Been collecting Coleman longer than firearms. It's fun watching another collector "geek out" about their hobby! Nice collection, Chad.

[@SkunkCreekRanch]

This video is just plain cool! Very neat, good change of pace, and still dropped some knowledge bombs. Heck yeah.

[@krashvictim]

been watching your videos for years, this was my favorite. just rebuilt a 1964 413f stove to complement my 228f lantern.

[@LoganAwesomeFunTime]

I’m a lantern junkie too! I don’t have a German lantern, but I know when the Coleman lanterns have issues pumping like that it’s because the leather gasket has dried up a bit. If you remove it and let it soak in some grease that brings it back pretty effectively. Also adding oil to the oiler hole can help keep it lubed and holding pressure.

[@ryangrimm9305]

Always glad to see someone else keeping the home lights lit..literally. My first experience of a gas lanterns was camping with my dad's "borrowed" gear from his reservist armory...helps to have been the senior Company NCO to 'test the gear for field use'...1959? I'm not going to mention the 300 pound squad tent cots and C-rats/10-in-one goodies that made the trip... I've had a liking for them ever since. One military model I got at for free at a swap-off/dropoff day in my community...if you have something you don't want, drop it off, maybe pick up something else. I have many, the oldest is a Coleman single-mantle 242C from 1946. The latest is maybe 20 years old, I forget which model. One kero model a friend just gave me about a month or so ago. All are in ready-to-use state....I think I have around 9 or 10 all told. Some few years back we had a block party (they block off the street), and the entire street was illuminated with my lanterns AND about half a dozen oil lamps. I also have a couple single-burner Coleman stoves, four or five two-burners, and a three-burner base camp stove I got NIB with the original punch-card registration card and box etc. When we lost power (no heat, etc.) for five days in winter, the lanterns and a stove kept us warm-ish and safe.

[@bmfitz2647]

Best damn crossover video! Have been collecting coleman lanterns since 2015. I love restoring them and making them work again. We still use them every time we go camping.

[@libertys_warrior3431]

[@cheekymonkey444]

[@TheLastCockney]

Great episode guys. I've had a Coleman "Peak 1" stove since the 1980's & couldn't guess how many meals or gallons of tea I've brewed up on it. Neary 40 years old & still going strong!

[@crystalrock18]

I got 2 Coleman lanterns and 2 Coleman stoves I'll never part with. They are beyond handy and great to have in the event of an emergency. Also a neat produst that you can buy on Amazon is a propane converter tube for your older Coleman stoves. It's $20 and I love it, and it's even more efficient since I don't have the weight of the white fuel tank that comes with it.
