Thanks for all the comments, folks. I’m really looking forward to using this lantern both in camp and at the tower.

Ha, that was my first thought as well, Timm! He’s going to have to fold it in half.

Cool picture!

Just goes to show that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure! Good on your brother for snagging that for you.

That’s sweet looking, Wayne!

I have no idea how long it’s been since this lantern was last lit but it took minimal work getting it fired up. Replaced the cap gasket, cleaned out the generator, and installed a different pump assembly since the one on board needs tweaking. Swished some CF around the fount and dumped. Minimal part...

Thanks again, folks. It’s currently on the launchpad receiving some last minute preparations and we may have liftoff tonight….10, 9, 8, 7, 6…..

Wickedly beautiful!

Yep, a learning curve for sure. Enjoy!

Thanks to all for the comments. Needless to say, I am very stoked to add this lantern to my collection and thankful that Mel reached out to me. I have really started concentrating more on items I can use and this one fits the bill. Can’t wait!

Well done on that one Mark! Does it have a 7/16" or 1/2" gland nut? Is the underside of the vent white? Thanks, Toby. 1/2” and no. Mark the 1/2" gland nut started showing up in 35 and the bail shape would change in late 35 , so I'd lay money down that you're seeing a 5 year stamp 😁 Congratulations ...

My USFS lantern arrived today! Again, thank you very much, Mel, for offering up this lantern.

Nice lineup on the workbench, Ken! Like soldiers in formation.
Attention! Bails left! Hup, 2, 3, 4!
Seriously though, nice work space.

Oh did you want me to take it to the post office?

You are way too funny, Mel!

Uh, you are just being funny, right?

Start the fire and just move your chair back a bit.

Yep, have to agree with Rob. My 327 and 427 are definitely my quietest lanterns.

Grand Mesa, is that the one maybe an hour or less outside Grand Jct.? I looked around there when I bped Maroon Bells. Duane Duane, you are correct. My neighbor used to camp there all the time and said it was a nice place to explore. Never been there but it’s on my to-do list. I imagine Werner knows...

Up here in northern Colorado, other than a few temporary closures due to falling tree hazards in burn areas, most roads that are closed currently are due to the snow conditions in the high country. Heard Grand mesa has up to 15 feet of snow in some areas, will be there up to maybe June or July. Nic...

For sale is a LRL22 KampLite single mantle lantern and custom lantern box. I haven’t fired this lantern for a couple of years but it is a strong and loud runner. Everything turns and the fount is very clean inside. This one is a bit hard to find, folks! The lantern will be shipped inside the case in...

Just because it’s fun to run!

Loving the variety of GPA’s that you folks have been sharing pictures of in this thread!

I’ve been enjoying all the pictures everyone has been sharing….and hope everyone is having a good evening…

1hpycmpr

Nice pictures, Duane. I always enjoy when you share pictures of your trips. Repo is getting a bit of gray on his muzzle, as some of us are! Repo has been a great companion through the years and you both are lucky to have each other. Does he stay out of the water on trips like this one?

Mark~they all came from etsy. Sold by the yard and the shade uses it all.

Thanks for that information, Will.

And yet another flashlight I have never seen before. I sure enjoy your FF posts, Russ.
Beep, beep!

I have a couple of those but can't remember the length. They came as extra parts with my 427.

I would NOT want to work in the ER of a hospital. I don’t do well with blood, needles and such. Nope, not for me, especially if the emergencies involved injured kids. I applaud those folks that work in the ER.

That’s pretty cool, Chuck! I just recently learned about the Coleman aluminum pump while doing some research. Never knew aluminum pumps existed.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some things sell a bit quicker in the past, Rob.

I was a lucky recipient of some of Chuck’s work and still using ‘em.

Both are sweet, Murff! Nice work.

Wish I knew you were in FoCo, you could have stopped by for a visit. Enjoy your time in Wyoming and yes, I-80 has been closed more than open this winter!

Nice stove, soon-to-be, Stovie-Ulf! 😁 A 425 is a great little compact 2-burner stove if you’re using smaller pots/pans. 413’s are nice for the bigger skillets/pots/Coleman oven. Then there’s the 426 3-burners when you need to perc some coffee while fixing some breakfast and toast. I have one of each...

And ready for the next time, nice!

Yep, the deals are out there. Congrats, Dan!
