Coleman

No...not Gary.

I refurbished two Coleman lanterns and a two-burner stove yesterday. The red lantern is my dad's. I remember falling asleep camping as a kid in our huge canvas tent listening to that quiet hissing sound, surrounded by the soft white glow.

With a little bit of maintenance, some new fuel and a bit of determination I got both lanterns and the stove running all at the same time.



We had the power go out the other night for a while, and even though we have a lot of flashlights and candles, I was not satisfied. I'm getting a little closer.
