It’s always a joy watching your videos and listening to your brand of wisdom.

I bought a new Coleman dual fuel lantern, stove, and Ruger revolver around 1988. For the last 35 years all 3 have been on a lifetime of camping, float trips in the MO Ozarks and the Oregon outback. What great products in a new world of throw away crap. How refreshing to have items to pass on to my grandchildren.

Old Coleman gear and the outdoors! What a classic combo! ❤

Appreciate the trip down memory lane Dave. Mom had 7 children and we were raised with those lanterns. Good Ole Days. Stay safe. God Bless Y'all ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’ve always loved these. I’m almost 50 and have always thought these had a Warmer, brighter light than any other battery-powered lanterns!

You can tell such a great story around simple things. Brooke can do the same thing. I pray people will remember that Memorial Day is about the men and women who kept our nation whole. Thank you.

The nostalgia of a sound is remarkable…instantly taken back to my childhood….

I could listen to Dave narrate the phone book ...it would be so calming 😂

Thanks, Dave, for another walk down Memory Lane! Fishing under a bridge on the mighty Tennessee River with Coelman Lanterns takes me back 60+ years!

Thanks Dave for the feel good moments of my younger years.

The old esthetic should be treasured, like me. I’m old but I’m still here to shine my light. You guys have fun!!!

Thanks, I needed that memory. I like all your videos, but rarely hit the like button. I enjoy watching you and Brooke tackle building challenges and your faith. God bless you and your and God bless America.

The best sound is a coleman mantel lantern. Brings me immediately back to camping with family. I actually still have mine. Thanks Dave.

Still got my dad's old Coleman lantern and stove. Still work, even 40+ years later.

I love the hiss of a Coleman stove or lantern. Many great memories of camping and deer hunting.

I still have my Dad's 1950's coleman lantern. It reminds me of our first camping trips in the Mt. St. Helens area in the early 1970's. I still remember my father teaching me how to use it at a young age. I recently got it going again after it sat since the 1980's. Bought lots of parts but didn't really need anything but soaking in penetrating oil and a good cleaning. Even the leather pump cup came back to life with a little oil. Amazing! Hold on to it, they don't make em like that any more!

I heard you say something that struck a chord with me. No place else I'd rather be than here on this spring evening. I live way back out in the country and was just thinking this last evening while I was outside working in my yard. A cool breeze, not many bugs yet and the smell of old fashioned roses from the much neglected bushes across the way. I realized how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place surrounded by nature and quiet. 👵👍

I have the Coleman lantern my Dad bought in the 50s . It’s been to the bottom of Forest lake when my Dad and both Grandfathers went through the ice while driving out to their fishing spot. He rescued both Grandfathers but the car went to the bottom with all the fishing equipment. When the car got fished out of the lake everything was still in the car. He dried out the lantern and we used it everywhere we went camping. I’ve inherited it now and will pass it on to my boy. LOve the sound of it. It’s relaxing and I think of the lake story every time I light it. Thanks for a great story from you.

At minute 3.39 there is perfect reflection of light forming a cross in that lamp in the top centre. I enjoy your videos. I wish to live somewhere so pristine. How blessed you are to have all this beautiful creation around you to enjoy. Praise God. And thank you for taking us to the woods with you. So much one can learn from you.

Had them same old feelings for years Dave , im 65 now and that sure brings back some good memories for me! Thank you so much for your videos🎉

Nothing like the sound of peepers and lanterns. Thanks, Dave!

The sound! Id totally forgotten that sound. Thank you so much for bringing back that lost memory of camp evenings.

This was the most nostalgic 5 min ever. Thank you.

I grew up in the 60's. That reminds me of vacation trip with mom dad and my brother. We had the stove too. I remember the smell of the gas burning. Great memories.

Watching this around four a.m. along with my new lantern on. Not gas but battery operated. Thanks these old lanterns bring me back to my childhood.

Hearing Mother Nature is always the best sound.

I always look forward to a new video from you. Excellent content as always.

That was like poetry to those of us who spent our youth camping.

I remember growing up in the 90s and going camping with my dad, we would use those percolator coffee makers we would find at a yard sale or goodwill, maybe some sleeping bags from the 70s and 80s, but when my dad would break out the old Coleman cook top or lantern, it made the whole camping trip feel awarding and cherished.

There is something enormously comforting about the sound of those things running. Somehow they blend into the natural world in ways that no modern LED lantern can. When you are within their circle of light, and beyond is nothing but wilderness and darkness, you can feel yourself in this privileged, special place. A little bubble of warm light that lets you stay awake and in the natural world just a little bit longer, even though the sun has gone.

brought me back 40 years hearing the old lantern run and the spring peepers ....... thank you

I watch a LOT of youtube. Far more than any other media. Almost all of it falls snugly in the bushcraft/homesteading/woodworking space. Yours are probably the only videos I consistently do not set to 1.5x playback speed. Just so relaxing. Keep it up, Dave.

Such a simple thing, makes a great story. Thanks Dave!

A trip down memory lane. Instantly brought back memories of being a boy scout. I hadn't thought about changing those lantern mantles in a long time.

I can remember my grandparents having Coleman lanterns and my dad had them I have had them and now my kids use them I agree on nothing better than listening to a Coleman Lantern burning and listing to frogs such wonderful spring evenings for sure thanks for the memories

My husband has one just like that. He used it to heat up our tent so we could get into our warm clothes. Great memories with a comment lantern for sure!

This brings back memories of my dad changing the mantles on our Coleman. Pure magic watching them disintegrate☺️

There's something magical and romantic about those lanterns for anyone who remembers them from childhood 🙂 Very relaxing atmosphere. Thanks!

Those old Coleman lanterns…..just can’t beat’em. I have one that I bought at a yard sale 20 years ago, spent a little money on stove fuel and mantles….worked like a charm. Had it out at the campground last year, after cleaning out the jets it lit off like it hadn’t sat for the past 17 years. An old Coleman stove is on my list….wish I’d snagged my grandparent’s old red steel-belted cooler. That thing saw so man trips to the river, family reunions, fishing trips up to Minnesota from central Indiana….hell, come to think of it, still have my old Coleman 2-room tent. Most of my recreational stuff these days is done in my 2010 29’ Keystone Outback travel trailer. Hardly roughing it, but gets me out in the woods…. I keep the tent as an option. I’m not huge on buying stuff just to have it, but the old Coleman camp gear….it was built to last and darned if it just doesn’t scream “OUTDOORS” to these almost-49 year-old ears.

I had the lantern and the stove and a lot of memories camping with them. Never failed me. Enjoyed the video!

There’s a Coleman lantern sitting in my garage that we probably got when we inherited the house back in ‘05. I was going to give it away but after I saw this video I decided to bring some new life into it.

Glad I am not the only one that loves the sound of a Coleman Lantern. Still have mine that I grew up with fishing until 3am and the stove. Thanks. Great memories of my dad every time its lite,there time machines for me. Good Video.

Awe, takes me back to when as a kid we would go camping and had the old coleman lantern running at night. I could almost smell that place watching your video

My dad had a lantern and stove just like those. He passed 4yrs ago....thanks for bringing back a wonderful memory♥

I use this video to help me wind down at bedtime. Thank you for making it.

I can remember my dad asking me to change the mantles on the lights in his old canned ham hunting trailer, showing how it was done. He's been gone nearly 30 years now, but I still remember so many things that he taught me.

Love it. I've got a couple of these Coleman lanterns - one is a red colored, single mantle, Model 200A. Your feelings toward these lanterns mirror mine.

You are right on! I love my Old Coleman lantern, and that hiss has hangs there and gives that wonderful glow.

Can't explain how much I needed this video. Thank you sir.

The smell of white gas always brings back memories . It was the unofficial fragrance of camping .

Dave, when I was in the army, my sargent assigned me to lantern service as virtual no one could operate them. I'm glad that we had one at home, as I wouldn't have known without that experience. I still have a Coleman lantern, but its propane, not white gas. Its not been used in a while, but its still mostly complete. I think that it needs new mantles.

You triggered so many memories of the Coleman Lantern. Aged about 6 with an older sister, my parents and we would go to Yosemite every year to camp. So, one night, after we had eaten on the Coleman Stove, it was time for bed and my Dad blew out the lantern. After a moment my mother, er, well Mother loudly..passed wind. Suddenly, the lantern which had been out, burst into life..we started laughing and could not stop until the Rangers came and made us leave. We laughed all the way home! Thank you ;-)

I appreciate the nostalgia of bringing back sweet memories. My parents showed us the love of camping. They had a coleman cooler. Years rolled forward, I had coleman lantern, coleman stove, and I inherited the coleman cooler. I still own to this day. Now, my oldest daughter and her family are coleman fans. I have enjoyed this video and reminding us of the simple things in life are far more enjoyable, an old coleman lantern burning on a cool evening. Thank you.❤

Old Coleman stoves and lanterns are what camping is all about. Oh the memories I have with that equipment!

All my first memories of camping hand Coleman labels on them! Love the sound of a Coleman lantern! Memories of pie irons in the campfire, putting sleeping kiddos in their sleeping bags and playing with damp decks of cards around a picnic table! Thank you for the memories! 😊

Always brings back lots of great memories.

There's something about the sound and smell of an old Coleman lantern that cannot be beat. Add in the warm greenish glow of the vintage mantles and it's an experience that cannot be duplicated with modern technology. I've acquired, repaired, rebuilt and kept FAR too many Coleman lanterns over the years. I expect I will do it again.

Funny how you called your Coleman, “old”. I’ve been using the “old” Coleman since the 70’s with my grandfather and father for camping and now I use it with my son on camping trips. It gives me the opportunity to share camp stories with him every time we break it out and set it up to light. I can tell my son looks forward to us getting the lamp out cause he knows we’re going to talk about his grandpa or great grandpa. So this lamp may be old but it and the memories attached to it are all new to him. Love your vids.

Thank you for the peaceful video. I wish I was out in the woods enjoying the last cool days of spring. Enjoy! Wishing you all God's blessings and health!

I used to have a lot of Colman stuff but I passed it on through the rummage sale it seems the young folks don’t have a use for that “old stuff “ thanks for the memories Dave 😊☮️❤️

I'm blessed to be born and raised in and around Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. We kids grew up camping in the forests and surrounding lakes long before electricity and running water was available. The sounds of hand pumping water and Coleman stoves and lanterns are things I really miss...

That sound brings back many memories. Thank you!

I grew up in a large family and when we went on vacation we camped, because it was cheaper but also because it was good to have us being outdoors. Coleman lantern, Coleman stove, Coleman water jug. A couple of years ago I bought a Coleman gas stove off Craigslist, just to have one. Ditto for an additional lantern, when I already had one. I totally understand why you bought that lantern.

Cool lantern for sure👍🏼 id definitely hang on to it🇺🇲✝️

Nice relaxing cool evening.

I have an old Coleman lantern sitting in my garage right now. Brings back so many good memories. Thanks for all the great content Dave.

Dave, that was the most explanatory video I've ever seen on how to put a Coleman lantern together and make it burn and your storys you tell, it just puts our heart at ease. Thank you so much! Dave Whipple for the videos you provide for us.

Great video. After all the numerous storms where we lost power, we were the only house on the block to have a light. We hung it just outside the living room window, suspended on the clamshell shutter, because having it inside was too hot for us here in Miami. Thanks Coleman, and thank you Dad.

Love the old Coleman gear myself. Restoring and collecting it has become quite a passion for some folks these days, with some of the more collectable pieces fetching good money. Nice video to close out my weekend with a little trip down memory lane. Best Regards.

It just wouldn't be camping for me without my Coleman lantern. Thanks Dave take care.

I feel the same way about old Coleman stuff. I have a lantern just like yours actually, and the hissing sound is so comforting to me. It always reminds me of night fishing for catfish. I remember putting a small ball of Play-Doh on the line to see when I got a bite. A hot cup of coffee for the Misty morning dew. And the taters and eggs on the old Coleman stove. Yes it's definitely part of my life, too bad the younger generation don't think it's important.

A short video about a Coleman lamp bought back great memories of my Dad. Thanks Dave.

I just thought I’d take a moment and tell you thanks for the videos. You’ll never know how much they’ve helped me. I had a stroke about two and a half years ago and somewhere early in my recovery I found your channel. After watching for a while, I got inspired to try and build my own little cabin. It’s just 12x 24 and it’s on my property but it sets me free when I’m working in it. My mind doesn’t work as good as it used to and I can’t use my right arm so I had to find new ways to get things done. One of these days I’m going to figure out how to send pictures on this phone so I can send them to you. Last fall I built a chicken coop and at the present time I’m building new steps in the front of my house. When I get to feeling overwhelmed I go to one of your old videos to remember how to do things. Thanks again for the help, you’ll never know what you’ve meant to me.

Just the ease and simplicity of camp life. Great feeling, very moving at times. God Bless, keep, Keeping on!

My husband says the sound the lantern makes is why you kept it. It brings back wonderful memories of growing up. I know him and I both have our wonderful memories that pop up when we hear the sound of a good old Coleman Lantern. Thanks for bringing some of those up as soon as you lite yours. 😊👍

Just love the sound of a lantern. Brings back good memories of long ago with my dad.

I’ve camped since I was 2 weeks old, and I love Coleman white gas lanterns and stoves. I have collected 9 and still prefer them to a propane one! Good memories!

There’s definitely nothing better than an old Coleman lantern.

Not the frogs!!!!!! I remember as a teen living in the Midwest, I took a 10 hour trip with my dad to Alabama to visit grandaddy and my favorite memory is nature and the many baby frogs in his yard at night!!! It was pure bliss ❤ needless to say as an adult I now live in Alabama where I hope for my kid to see the beauty in nature here and experience all the opportunities that I found. Having many ancestors here makes it feel nice even though they have either passed away moved away or are elderly. Nice video I felt the crisp cool evening in my soul watching this! ❤

We camped alot until i was 15 we used Coleman lanterns, surprisedly we never had a Coleman stove always had a campfire we cooked on. Many great memories. Be Blessed. 😊🇺🇲

That's good old reliable gear. Had it around most of my life.

I love all my old Colman equipment. I grew up with all of them. Lanterns and Stoves. Great memories with my Dad and mom 59 years of them. Still in use today

Yeah, there is just something special about those old gas Coleman lanterns. It's a reminder of great times outdoors!

Found memories of those old Coleman products. I love it.

Ice fishing, camping, and Coleman lanterns. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Darn you Dave whipple! At first I was bugged I waited 2 weeks for a 5 minute video. But of course as always I’m so captivated by your commentary I forgot why I was mad and reminded how sweet your channel really is. You truly are the “Bob Ross” of cabin life. Thanks again for the amazing material 👏🏻👏🏻

Nothing better than a Coleman lantern. Fond memories. 😊

Wonderful. This is the stuff that dreams are made of.

Wow this brought back some memories thank you Dave for that moment in time that we should remember!!!

my great grandfather worked on lanterns like these when he was in the guards, seeing them reminds me of going camping with him when I was a kid and burning my hand when I touched it once lol. great video man

Dave you are a master story teller. Thank you.

Oh yes, love my Coleman lanterns and stoves. With a little care you will have them for a lifetime. Nothing draws moths like a Coleman lantern burning in the deep woods. Big fat wood moths with amazing patterns on the wings, fluttering wings so fast they are a blur. Really great memories. Thanks Dave ❤

You, the cabin and the Coleman lantern = serendipity

Its those simple thoughts and simple pleasures that warm a heart. Thanks for the simple share.

Need more stories like this one. Thanks Dave

Can't beat the vintage Coleman lantern and stove!!

I've used a ton of these old Coleman lanterns for many years thanks to boy scouts and now I own several in various states of repair. Old lanterns just feel right

Good ole basic Coleman lantern reminds me of my childhood days camping with my family. Very fond memories.

Dave, your videos always bring me such peace. Especially ones like these (this video, your campfire stories video, etc.). To hear that lantern and the frogs, as simple and insignificant as it may sound, they bring back so many memories from camping and fishing growing up. Sometimes I miss that peace and blissfulness. Thank you for giving that to us through your videos. I hope one day to run into you so I can thank you personally.

The Coleman lantern is by far my favorite piece of camping gear. Great video!
