- In this episode we are camping in snow and wind gusts. We have recently acquired two vintage survival items: Coleman gasoline lantern model 220K year 1981 and Coleman gasoline stove model 502 year 1971 They are in a very good shape considering their age and work flawlessly. They are completely made in the USA.
What makes these items perfect survival tools is the fact they burn on gasoline without producing smoke.They use Coleman's own fuel blend and White gas which is even cheaper. In case of emergency where these fuels are not available they can burn other types of fuel such as unleaded petroleum gasoline and kerosene although it is not recommended as it may eventually rust the generator.
We test these items and cook on the stove a full meal. The white gas burns a bit cooler than propane thus requiring a little more time to boil one liter of water. I tested it with my 1 liter titanium kettle and a stainless steel pot. The steel pot took 20 minutes to boil the water. The titanium kettle took 15 minutes due to the fact that is is wider and better heat conductivity.
Cooking on this stove is a pleasure. The full fount lasts for quite a bit of time for many uses. The lantern produces very bright white light and full fount lasts for about 8-9 hours.
Overall we were pleased with our new acquisitions and will be definitely using them in most of our future trips.
Nice I love Colman lantern I have sevral
Great video. Thank you for sharing and wishing you a wonderful day atb
Thank you!
It's a good video. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Thank you!
Excellent use of vintage Coleman gear, its quality and usefulness is near perfect. You can preheat the generators on both by using a torch of some kind . This will help the vaporization process and make firing them up easier , especially when its cold.
Thank you! Yes, I figured out that I have to preheat it. I love them both. Since this video I've lready put them through a lot of use. Still going strong. Vintage gear is the best. They don't make them like this anymore!
That’s a $150 stove now days lol
how you doing?~ what a good eedition~ see you on my side-🌟
Thank you!
I have a letter model of that stove. Where did you get the wider grate you put on it to accommodate the cast iron skillet?
I bought it at a 99 cents store:)
@@PeterAlts - Would you happen to remember the name of the manufacturer or a model name/number?
@timrogers2638 I don't remember that sorry. It is a cheap stainless steel grate made in China.... you can find it at a dollar value stores or probably walmart...
Is that a restoration on the 502? It looks brand new!
yes I bought it restored. some original parts were cleaned. I love it
Hmmm. Pouring camp gas right next to a working woodstove. Might want to rethink that.
Air is being drawn into the fire box through the draft ports. It would be almost impossible for the wood stove to ignite the gasoline especially considering the relatively low temperature inside the tent. (Guessing 40-60 F) You would need to fill the tent with vapor before there was any real danger, and even though the flash point of gasoline is around -45F, you would still need a substantial surface area to be wetted with liquid to produce enough vapor for things to become dangerous. Long story short, there was no danger refueling his equipment as he did in the video.
I figure your a wealthy person just playing otherwise you would'n't have wasted so much energy beautiful place though
Does it matter?
