Lighting my Coleman 200a made in May of 1972

Test lighting my May of 1972 Coleman 200a lantern for our family get-together in the back yard. The old stuff is made so much better!

My parents used something very similar when we went camping in the 1960s. It was much cheaper to light with gas back then, than it would have been with battery powered torches.

Mr Sherwood, I love your lantern, I have an 02-75 just like it! It was my parents & set me off on collecting coleman lanterns. I also wanted to say I took my xiegu g90 out to a park yesterday & had my first pota activation. Your ham radio videos piqued my interest in that rig, more so than many other videos specifically about that rig! Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos & I also appreciate how your interests on your about page align right down the list with mine. I do prefer a canoe though. 😊

Thanks for your comment. I have slowed my video posts way down because of my schedule. In the lantern world, I'm currently working on rebuilding a 1970s Tilley X246B kerosene lantern. Just need to order a new pump. Look it up on youtube. It's a unique lantern the way its lit. In the ham radio world, I have been busy with my ham radio clubs. We had a event last saturday at a local park where we set up our portable radios. Here is a link a video on my buddy's channel on that event:kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZjNaoF6jtujg8Usi=dx6BrxJkJiDBLYA3 His channel has a lot of our club events that I'm in. I also set up my G90 a couple of weeks ago at a state park in N. Florida called Fort Clinch State Park. Got 16 contacts in less than 30 mins on 20 meters. Radio is so much fun!
