Tomorrow we are going out for a 5 day camping & hiking trip. and as always the big debate what lanterns and stoves to take. as for stove it is usually a simple answer as I have several users that regularly come along. all of them are kerosene due to the prices of white gas around here except for 1 hiking stove. well the stoves are Optimus 111T, Optimus 111, Optimus 00 and a SVEA 123 for hiking. as for lanterns this is always a very hard decision. two days ago I was working on 237 that recently arrived and decided to make an international coleman convention on this trip taking 4 Coleman 237 with me US, Canada, UK and Brazil had to test before we go changed one generator cleaned two and fitted mantle. BTW - been using the peerless mantles on these and they are BRIGHT!!, thanks Dan! Chris, look at the bail on the right well enough talk here are the pics: (L to R : US, Brazil, UK, Canada)
Hmmm handsome lanterns these and the 236. I have found then generally not as bright as a Petromax but they are perhaps rather more robust and to me at least a better looking lamp. Nice collection there. Not sure what mine are but I think most likely Canadian. Brazil and UK versions are rare beasts so you have done well there. ::Neil::
