Thank you Cody...i have not been camping in 20 years but when power outages hit Texas we haven't had lights for several days so it was time to dig out the old camping gear. Your video helped me get lights for my family. Thanks for posting!
Well, thank God I was able to help you out a little. That's what I want this channel to be all about. I was born in Texas, still got family there. Stay warm, brother!
have my first camping trip/ hunting trip bymyself with my daughter. this will bring back the days when me and my dad used to go. crazy how fast time flies. Thanks for the video
Also just to add, LED and electric lamps certainly have come a long way, but most only provide a cold unidirectional light as opposed to the warm 360° light output of Coleman-type and other liquid fuel lanterns. And in the colder months, the heat that comes off of propane and white gas lanterns sure is welcome.
Going to northern Michigan this weekend. no power so can't rely on charging up my LED lantern. Just got one of these and can't wait to try it out. Thanks!
Just bought one of these last week at a pawn shop. I got it out to my campsite and changed the wicks like you showed and connected my propane. Then I couldn’t figure out how to light it safely, there were no directions so I had to depend on my two LED lanterns. One burned out after only an hour. The hank you so very much!
You are supposed to burn the mantles first before lighting them. They will put themseves out without having to blow them out. Then you can light them without the problems hou had.
I feel ya.. there's nothing creepier than being out in the middle of the woods when it's pitch black out. Gas and propane lanterns sure do help a lot, but even then the trees still play tricks with your mind.
Thanks for the video..I have a question though..I saw some other videos and also read the instructions that came with my new lantern... The way they say is you need to burn the mantle first until white ash remains before turning on the propane.. Once the mantle is burnt, then we turn on the propane and light the mantle again. Just wanted to know is that the more safer and correct way to do for a beginner like me?
There's more than one way to skin a cat. That's the way I was taught back in the day, that's how people I know light theirs, and it works. It's probably safer to burn the mantles in with the gas off, I've never tried it. Do it the way you're comfortable with, whatever works for you.
Yes, it is safer to use a match or lighter to burn the mantles with no fuel or propane first. You could use a butane torch, BUT it may blow the mantles apart, just be careful. The mantles turn white when they are done burning. Turn on the fuel and light with a match or lighter. (edited for grammar 11/9/22)
Usually they'll last until you're ready to pack the lantern up. They kinda turn to ash so they don't store well. I've had mantles last through 4 & 5 night camping trips. Of course, like anything, they may occasionally fail & need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
CO is rarely a problem with a lantern in good repair. Also, they're meant for outdoor use, not enclosed areas. CO detectors are commercially available for extra peace of mind.
All good but the process for mantles is to tie them on and then light them and burn them before turning on the gas. Once they burn on their own, then they are ready for propane.
If I had assembled the lantern in the darkness (which isn't a good idea, be proactive), you wouldn't have been able to see what I was doing. Thanks for watching, hope it helped!
Depends on the manufacturer. My Primus lantern is much more efficient than my Ozark Trail lantern. Of course, the brighter you set the light, the faster it burns fuel, too. It's just one of those things you have to figure out by experience. I suggest bringing 2 cannisters per night until you're more familiar with your lantern.

Hey, thank you for watching, and for carrying on such valuable family traditions. Good luck with y'all's hunt and God bless!
Old skool is the best! I have propane and liquid fuel lanterns😁. In the house I have quite a few parrifin oil lamps. Great for power outages.

Yep.
going camping with my dad helped a lot with the set up. thank you
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching.

The light from these lanterns is so much better than synthetic. Warm and softer on the eyes. They also get really bright which is I use them :D
Yeah, you just can't beat the old school gas lanterns. Thanks for watching, I hope you found the video helpful!
New to camping here. Thx for the helpful video! 👍
I try. Thanks for watching! Hope the video helped.
How many hours this mantles have before they dont light any more?
Thanks Cody. This eliminated all the confusion I had. Subscribed!
Glad to help! That's what I was shooting for. Thanks.

Good advice. Cats can be skinned multiple ways. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! Simple instructions 👏 appreciate it!
Cool. I hope it helped. Thanks for watching, & check out some of my other videos!

Nice job. Thanks for posting
I bought one to get ready to go to Ohiopale State Park. Thank you man!!
I hope it was helpful, have fun!While you're there, check out Cucumber Falls.
@@creekwatercody4856 i did. i went to Meadows Run and then to Cucumber Falls. Ohiopyle State Park is an amazing and beautiful place!
Glad to hear you had a good time. Hopefully your lantern stayed lit!
Great video! Thinking about picking up one!
Nice job Cody!
Great video, thanks Cody.
Thank you! And thanks for watching. Hopefully you'll find some of my other videos just as helpful.
what if you run out with propane how are you gonnaa use the lantern?
You're not.
🤣
What if there’s propane powered flashlight?
There are some old school lanterns that had mirrors or reflector plates behind the globe to make the light directional.
You're pretty cool I like the way you do things
Well, thanks! I do try.
Got a few electric lights and they do not omit a light as reliable or soothing as a propane lantern. Can’t beat them
thanks for the tips! I agree. . the propane ones can't be beat!
Happy to help. Thanks for watching!
So mine actually burns up my little socks. What am I doing wrong
It will happen. Is the gas on? It does take a knack, practice it.
Could this work in a camper van or is it too dangerouse?
Make sure you have adequate ventilation. I recommend using a Carbon Monoxide detector. Also, obviously, beware of the fire hazard, too.
Thank you.
Are the Mantles still made out of Radioactive material or are they banned now?
Is that a serious question or the funniest comment ever posted on this channel?
@@creekwatercody4856 No, I'm being serious. Older Mantles were actually made out of some Radioactive element.
I did not know that. Interesting.
Thorium
Thanks for the knowledge.
Great video
How long does each mantle last?
Usually they'll last until you're ready to pack the lantern up. They kinda turn to ash so they don't store well. I've had mantles last through 4 & 5 night camping trips. Of course, like anything, they may occasionally fail & need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
CreekWater Cody Thank you
great information thank you very much
Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
Maaaan thank you
Bet this is the one vid I see that makes sense 👍🏻👍🏻
Good. I hope it was helpful.
1005 views Keep up the good work my friend.
Thanks! I'm glad to see people are finding this video helpful.
doesnt that give off carbon monoxide or something? isnt that dangerous?
CO is rarely a problem with a lantern in good repair. Also, they're meant for outdoor use, not enclosed areas. CO detectors are commercially available for extra peace of mind.
@@creekwatercody4856 ppl use propane stuff indoors tho Isnt that dangerous
All good but the process for mantles is to tie them on and then light them and burn them before turning on the gas. Once they burn on their own, then they are ready for propane.
Ummmm..aren't you supposed to prime them first and burn them off?
I don't know what you mean. Seemed to work, though. There's more than one way to skin a cat. Thanks for watching & for the input.
Thanks brother!
That was helpful 👍🏻😀
I'm glad. Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Hope it helped, thanks for watching!
Thanks Cody
Hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
I saw your video was 4:20 sec long and said to myself hmmmm can’t be that bad .
You know, I noticed that myself...
Hiw to not set up a propane lantern
Lantern looks lit to me. Also, if you're gonna be a dickhead, at least use spellcheck.
Also dont touch the mantles after first use because they will break easily
It varies. Depends on the quality of the lantern.
Good jod cody
You could have waited till night time to demo its brightness. The darkness is free...
If I had assembled the lantern in the darkness (which isn't a good idea, be proactive), you wouldn't have been able to see what I was doing. Thanks for watching, hope it helped!
@@creekwatercody4856 - just to demo its brightness.
@@koshabull208
Shut up
be careful with the glass hahaha
Dude, you don’t light the damn lantern and then assemble it! Very unsafe dude.
Dammit tinder bob! You made me fuck up my lantern!
Real Coleman lanterns run off gasoline. Propane is cheesy.
You mean the old school Dual Fuel lanterns? Had one back in the day. Once ran it off 101 proof bourbon once!
Ok this guy does not know what he is doing, go to a different channel for proper installation and firing of your lamp.
What did I do wrong? Please correct me. I thought the lantern was lit when I was done...
how long does a bottle of propane last ?
How long does a canister last?
Depends on the manufacturer. My Primus lantern is much more efficient than my Ozark Trail lantern. Of course, the brighter you set the light, the faster it burns fuel, too. It's just one of those things you have to figure out by experience. I suggest bringing 2 cannisters per night until you're more familiar with your lantern.
