I am not following here. Are you saying you got a coleman camping lantern to operate off Regular Auto Gas, rather than kerosene?

I have a single-mantle Coleman lantern (their 'Backpacker' model) that served me well with many many hours of beautiful light, particularly much winter camping in Alaska when I was growing up.

I still have that lantern (I've kept it in excellent condition) and have no reason to get rid of it - but I try not to think of how incredibly outclassed its ~2 hour fuel tank is compared to a single 18650 though. :eek:

Maybe during hunting season this fall I'll fire it up for old times' sake. :)

I love the Old Coleman's. I must have 15 vintage Colemans. All running perfectly. Fun to fire one off in the evening outside while tending the BBQ.

Yeah, it is nice to cook on the patio with my old 425E stove and 200A lantern. Keeps the mess outside too.
