Wood Boats and Coleman Lanterns

Hello WBP

I've got a new little "obsession" to add to my old "obsession".... I found a 1952 Coleman Lantern in an Antique store for $9.99.  I offered $7 and bought it for $9 - I'd have paid $20 (maybe not).

After a lot of rubbing and scrubbing a new gasket and mantle...

It cleaned up pretty nicely... now - if only I hadn't given away my Custom Made Oar Stand  to a good friend that admired it at the McKenzie Boat Festival - his initials are Darryl Lyons...   (I've been tinkering on weekends - and built a new one from boat "scraps")

It all comes together... I hadn't heard the soft "hiss" from an old Coleman in many years - can't believe it took me this long to figure out a great addition to my wooden boat.

Brother Greg

Let's think about 9/30.  Couple of options, take wood boats and float or my sled and serious fish!!

Who makes that tent, my wife and i love the way it looks.  It also seems that it's functional as well.

That tent is made by my friend David Ellis over in Durango, CO...Cowboy Camp

I HIGHLY recommend his tents and bedrolls.  Both are awesome - high quality and very functional.

Tell him I said "hi".

Hey Jason - they're great tents and bedrolls... perfect for those chilly Michigan mornings - ha.  Hope all is well.  Looks like you've been having some pretty good summertime adventures.

Greg,

Things are going really well here in the mitten. Christine and I tied the knot this past Saturday, and we even had some spare time to get on the river and do some fishing. 

 

Yes the mornings here can be a bit "brisk" on a November steelhead trip, looks like his tents would be up to the task.

Jason - that tent would have been a perfect place for the honey-moon... I hear it's called "glamping" - ha ha...

Take care - come back out and see us sometime.
