And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I keep AA & AAAs around, I buy them in big packs so I picked up some AA to D cell converters (the type that uses 3 AAs) for my big Maglite (I bought an LED bulb for it too).... the only D cell thing I still had.
Heavy (D-cells) and built to look like something else, that was originally designed for purpose. Making this, something that is not designed for purpose.
first look I thought "ignition". After reading "D cells, it was "abort launch". Thanks Rob for the tip about a "D-cell to AAA" converter. Wasn't aware of such a gizmo. You should hit up Coleman for a commission!
White gas. Mantles. A few pumps to pressurize the tank, and a Strike-Anywhere match. That's all you need.
Yeah, I get it. "But what about muh Global Warming? What about all that carbon in the atmosphere?" Get over yourselves. The energy that gets into those batteries comes from carbon too, you ninnies.
There are tons of other (frankly, better) LED lanterns out there. If that's what you want, then get one. But pretending that you've got a Coleman single mantle lantern isn't fooling anyone.
I bought an original coleman kerosene lantern at an antique shop a few years ago. I've never seen another one. It is chrome with a round globe. Anyone know if they are rare or were common at one time? Bubbarust
Takes D cell batteries, who keeps D cells around anymore?

ReplyDeletethe thing about all batteries, they get thrown away when they're wasted. magically it's all o.k. with them "green" nutcases.

ReplyDeleteIf you go that route make sure the adapter you get needs three AA batts and not just one...
DeleteWhat kind of a faggy lantern is that?
ReplyDeleteNo. No. No.

Mantles can be a real pain in the rear, but yeah - kerosene lantern FTW

I have to at my shack. The were cheap and you don't have to worry about burning the place down when you sleep.
ReplyDeleteHad one for years, eats batteries and takes up too much room, left it at Goodwill a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteForget the lantern. What about the girl?
