I have 425 stove I bought myself when I was 10 - in 1982. Lots of wear. I bought propane converter but still burn white gas on occasion to get that smell that brings back so many memories. I have a Peak lantern from that era too. Good stuff.

It snowed here today. I'm so antsy to get out and camp, and it snowed.
8" expected on the valley floor by morning.
Word of warning, if you have a Coleman Lantern manufactured between June of 79 and January of 80, you might want to toss it, that was the time period I worked for Coleman, on their Coleman Lantern assembly line, I was not the greatest employee they had, but I was still better than some of the other chuckleheads on the line. In 79, they had around a 6 million loss in scrap parts from just our plant.
Coleman, the WORST place, without question, that I have ever worked. Legend had it, the machines we used were used to manufacture bullets for the war effort in WW2. After having worked there, I believe it.
X3 Some of my favorite backpacking trips were over frozen lakes. So much fun!I love camping in the snow.
