why coleman stuff is cool

[High Desert]

CD, we just need to introduce you to frosted and amber lantern globes to cut down on the glare

The answers are there

Yup...the amber globes really cut down on a lot of the glare. I pretty much only use my stuff if we are sitting at the table playing a game, or just before I go to bed for picking/cleaning up dishes etc....and of course...there is always the obligatory "playing" with lanterns with other Coleman people. Red globes are also available. Doug

I wouldn't mind finding one at a garage sale and restoring it, but it would be purely for show -- I'd probably never use it.

Maybe on my next round, I'll pick up one for ya" - or if you get a few, bring em on by - I'll help you get 'em going

I'll have to look into those alternative globes. I tripped over a cooler at LCG4 because I couldn't see it in the shadows of the bright lights. The LCG regulars say it was the booze, but the night was young -- and they don't know what they're talking about.

I'm not sure about the red globe -- don't want Ranger Sweet Pea geting the wrong idea (SouthCentral joke).

Scott, if you want to toss me one of your lesser specimens, I might let you cook on my discontinued (and coveted) red Weber.

What can I say my wife and I have been buying anything old and useful forever. We have very little that is new. Everything in our kitchen is 1950 stuff other than food. Why it has lasted for 60 years and is still going strong. Our stove is from 1960 and have only replaced one part. Our camping gear is also old our cast iron stuff all had rust on it when we bought it and had to be cleaned. It is just a way of life. Do not get me wrong there are some things better now than the old stuff like a 5day cooler. Heck we still use rotary dial phones. We did have a couple old candle stick phones but they had no dial and that was a pain. All and All the old stuff rocks. Yard sales are my Wal-mart. China made is for others to fill the land fills. I would like to thank you all for showing me how to rework the Lanterns and stoves I am tired of the low and inconsistent heat of the propane stoves and the low light of the propane lanterns.
