The problem with Coleman is they have quite making stuff and just put there name on stuff, I cant even find parts for my two lanterns, one needs a couple of parts but they have been "out of stock" for a couple of years, I called them and got a real rude person that acted like I was insane for...

Those are real nice, I have a lot of Coleman stuff, and collect the stoves, those are worth a pretty penny to a collector.......I want bad...some day will find one at a good price, until then I pick up stoves at garage sales all the time, nothing that nice though...good score.

Kabbooom comes to mind, did that one time and shot the canister across the camp site, did it with a lighter in the camp fire back in the day and like in slow motion it blew out of the fire and hit me between the eyes......Live and learn

Five years ago I found a C.S. gas grenade in a field walking to the supermarket , two months ago $123.00 in cash blowing down the street, a big bag of Marry Jane, A .22 rifle with a broken stock stashed in some trees, two naked people doing the nasty in my camp spot and a park ranger watching...

Nice set up, I really want a Trangia burner to aid and abed my stove addiction......I am at a all time low, tried all the usual alchy stoves and the Trangia is just the best, my last one got pinched at duck camp a couple years ago. Some kids just need a good thrashing....

I like my Stainless bullet proof and does not burn food as easy......but cast iron is my fetish But the kid in me loves Titanium for the Dude that's cool stuff" factor.

I have two UCO lantern and love em, I use one for candles and one for a homemade copper pipe Oil Lantern works good and bright, the oil lantern works fine just need to trim the wick down to the nub and it puts out a nice glow that is good enough to read by.....I got the instructions on some site...

I just had a spark of genius, does not happen much. I have this huge aluminum peculator that for some unknown reason I hate but cant get rid of so .......bang I took the guts out and retrofitted to my larger billy. Just drilled a small hole to fit a wire through the stem to keep it at the...

I don't have a name for it but it's a light easy to carry and filling: Ingredients: 1: 1-Mild pepper dried in oven over low heat 2: Dried beans (Black and pinto) from package or dried in oven after boiled 3: Tomatoes dried from package or as above 4: Small package of secret Mexican spice 5...

This is another of my stand by tents for summer and spring camping.....lived out of it for three weeks one time and found out I like standing up in a tent, will be making a large Viking style tent this winter to keep for emergency house duty. Something big enough to work and sleep in.....

The tent unfortunately is no longer made, its a Black Diamond Mega Mid. Great tent, sheds snow and rain great, have had it up during 60 mph winds and it stayed upright. The new one by Black Diamond is called a Mega Light and is just that smaller and lighter material. I purchased this one 13...

It has always been my opinion that plans only work until the first shot is fired and then its completely fluid.....having been on quest for 30 years to outsmart, out prep mother nature and human frailty, a few things have become obvious and sunk into my thick skull.... Redundancy is a fair...

I am a severely addicted gear hoarder, over the past 15 years It have been a terrible burden on my non- crafty and my non-prepping friends, but when its time for a power outage or a adventure in the woods they all want to borrow my stuff.....and I like to show it off to people who appreciate the...

The face paint is for bow hunting and the British saw works fine for wet wood, the cheap American version sucks, yes it bends and breaks easy. This kit is for general use outdoors, it just contains things that can be used quick and easy, and nothing in it was cheap by any means. Been to Iraq...
