FOUR beautiful pump/mantle kerosine pressure lanterns.
The OLD style, pre-Coleman but using the same system they all use.

These babies are BRASS, and I got 20 extra mantles and some funnels and cheesecloth to filter fuel. They'll burn DIESEL, corn oil, soybean, you name it, and they're going right in my new garage in Canada, right next to the emergency tool kits.

My bet is that in a year or two they will be worth 20 times their weight in canned veggies or ammo. FUCK gold; got no calories or firepower.

1. 12 Dietz and Dietz-style lanterns..
They'll burn almost anything, too. My GF has 2 Aladdin mantel lamps that I'm overhauling.

This is my favourite, almost as bright as a 40W lightbulb...

3. got 6 of them too.
two brass, one galvanized (I think), one each painted green, red, and black.

They go through fuel a lot faster than the mantle lamps, though.

Survivalism has its moments of fashion.
