I thought I had a rare illness

[Wild Bill]

Just when I thought that going to estate sales, etc and dragging home old camping equipment was a rare illness, I stumble upon this discussion to find lots of people with similar symptoms that I have. Dragged home a real nice green coleman table a month or so ago. The stove we used to use when I was a kid is still in my dads garage, better drag it home.
Found a dutch oven still in the box from the Boy Scouts of America with a post mark from 1966. I lost count of how many lanters red, green etc that I have hanging from nails in my garage, God help the Fire Dept if it ever catches fire. Guess the illness is contagious and spreading. Went to a tent sale 2 weeks ago and passed on a couple of coleman stoves still in the boxes from the 70's also saw one with the 2 tanks attached on the bottom new in the box. A sign that many people went camping one or two time and did not care for it. Has anyone started a vintage camping gear show yet?? Bill

I'm not allowed to do anymore sleepover's at Doug's house 'cause he went and turned the living room into a Coleman Museum.
