 in the shop you've probably seen from the title we're going to be putting new mantles on these Coleman lanterns I have here so stay tuned I know most of you know how to do it but some of you may not it's really easy check it out okay guys so what we have here we have of course two Coleman lanterns this is the one I've got with the with the tents this one here is one that monkeys had for a while neither one of them has been used very much they're real similar but this one has an igniter in it so we're going to talk more about these later this one here is a dual fuel see that and I'll explain that to you here in a minute but first let's change these mantles over and by the way it is I don't know if you can see there it is 12 40 a.m. all right so let's go ahead and let's get started on this one here all right like I said it's really easy first thing you want to do well let's go ahead and open this up there should be four in here I've got another pack in there but I believe there's four of them in here which is enough to do both they both have a the two mantle these are called mantles no I know a lot of you guys are saying oh I already know how to do that well okay but some people don't and they may want to learn okay so what we're going to do is we're going to take this top off of here this one I think he said was only used one one camping season or whatnot see he's got a little hanger on it um but take this off be careful of these these these things used to be like four or five dollars now they're like six to ten dollars they make different sizes so just take this off of here all this stuff off okay now what I'm going to do is I'm just going to take this behind you and I'm going to blow it out with compressed air okay so there you go let's move this over here so we don't lose it it's off of here now there's instructions on here as well to show you how you do it you just tie it on of course there's warnings so just tie it on the best you can just tie it in the knot okay and then what it says is to of these are just warnings so you want to light it always light and use lantern outdoors of course so but anyway I want to talk about these now a lot of guys they'll go ahead and put these on and then just light them right up but when I was growing up when we used lanterns the old timers always told us when you change in manholes light them up and let them burn first and when I do that they seem to last a lot longer and sometimes I've had them actually just fall apart like this as soon as I lit them now so I guess that would be just a matter of preference but I've I've always had good luck with lighting them up first on I'll show you that here in just a minute okay and then it says of course to trim these all right trim these now I don't know if you can see that oh zoom in a little closer for you on that uh see that's what see these ridges this ridge just like indentation here looks like a car or wheel without a tire I should have worn my wireless mic and I know you can hear the fan behind me guys but it's very hot it actually got up to what was it 93 today and the real fill was 108 I do believe so just tie these on here real real good and then just trim them off which I just sharpened these scissors so they're doing pretty good um life hack you want to sharpen these scissors cut up some sandpaper 10 12 times sharpen them right up all right let's back you out I'm going to light this up and I'm going to have to turn the fan away from us I know you guys won't mind but I will I'm already sweaty okay now this is what I was talking about the it's got a little flint in it kind of like a like a lighter doesn't seem to be working it might need flint we'll have to let's check this out and see if it does I have some flint I just gotta find it I don't like turning these up like this a lot of times just like with your lighter you can turn it around backwards stick it in there and try it and then you know it'll pull down out of the way there let's there it goes I guess it's kind of left handed all right so now what I want to do is take my lighter here and we'll light it at the bottom I'm just going to let them burn until they quit burning on their own yes it has a funny smell it has a little smoke but you know if you do this outside guys it's not going to kill you you'll be firing this is what creates the light because what it does is burns down to this charcoal stuff here and it glows there we go and then just to make sure I got it all I'll light it down here some more there we go and it looks like it should be ready so let's go ahead and we'll put our globe on this put our little top on now these things don't have to be super duper dino wapping tight either guys just um just make them snug I mean you want to be able to to turn that a little bit okay so all right there is lighting instructions on this let's just read instructions carefully yes it's got instructions on it right here tells you how to light it so but the first thing that you do is you normally you take this okay you there's closed you open it like one turn just like that there's a little hole here so a little hole okay like I said you just um just take this I just always go quarter turn it's fine you put your hole your thumb over that hole and you pump this 30 times okay now I have already done that because I didn't want you guys to have to sit and watch me pumping up a lantern but I'm going to give it a few more pumps just for good measure push it down then close it and then turn it on and you'll hear the gas now let's light it there we go gets me every time and there it is and then it says after you light it you want to want to pump this a few more times you'll feel it building up pressure it's not going to blow up on you guys it's like that now let's shut these lights off and let me get the big light there's the light it puts out here I'll take you back here and show you here let's shut this off for a second here and there you go gives off gives off some good light okay so now yes you can use these intents and you can use them in houses but I got three words for you ventilation ventilation ventilation okay because that is burning a gas it's burning a a petroleum based product so you're naturally going to want to ventilate okay so now there's that one so that igniter works pretty good pull this down here so don't get as hot if you got to relight it so and they burn for quite a while it's a lot cheaper than the propane ones though the propane ones are more handy but these these are more efficient I guess you could say because they don't they don't burn as much propane and you get more when you buy a gallon of this stuff which I'm going to get to here in just a minute and you can turn it way down and you can get different manuals that kind of create a different glow and that will shut off in one to two minutes okay let's get this one here out here force now this one is a Coleman dual fuel okay I'm gonna get to get to what that means here in just a minute first let's go ahead now I know this works too because I have had it lit up so I knew it needed mantles um I think it's actually been used more than the other one this one has a case to it the other one does not and this is just uh it just sits in there like that okay I'm gonna take this off the same way see someone didn't trim these ones you should always trim them okay now again I'm gonna take this over here I'm gonna blow it off real quick okay now let's get our mantles out here oh shit I thought I forgot to hit record oh man put a screw it up my day be careful when you wash these because these break very easily especially when they're hot don't bump them around okay because they will crack like I said they're pretty pricey for what they are you know just just piece of glass really okay now this one like I said it says dual fuel I said I get to it we're to it all right that means you can burn Coleman fuel which is also known as white gas and you can buy it in gallon cans online or you can also buy them uh Walmart sells them this one is called a dual fuel because this one you can also run unleaded fuel in it looks like that might be what was run in it okay because it it's a gasoline okay unleaded gasoline you can run in this it does put off more smoke and more fumes so really if you burn this inside if you need light inside your house like I said ventilation you need heat or light in your tent ventilation now in all actuality the other one's a dual fuel too anything that takes a liquid gas like that stove the uh that stove we we checked out that green stove you can burn unleaded fuel and now you can burn unleaded anything that takes a fuel a liquid fuel you can you can run well I'm talking like lantern wise you can run unleaded fuel in it and I'm guessing that's what this one had in it now it does not burn as clean as white gas as Coleman fuel um but it is a hell of a lot cheaper you know for by the gallon so especially like if you're just mostly going to be using this for cat fishing at night yeah get you a gallon of unleaded fuel that's what I've got in this and I've run in I've run them in these before without any issues everybody says yeah but it's very highly flammable it's volatile yes it is but so is the Coleman fuel it's white gas that's called white gas for a reason because it's it's really a type of gasoline I did an experiment several years ago not really an experiment but a buddy of mine said you cannot run that's that Coleman fuel in an engine in an internal combustion engine I told him to go buy me a gallon I'll prove him wrong and I said if it don't run I'll pay you back for the gallon I dumped it in my Sears craftsman garden tractor fired right up we rode that thing around till it ran out of fuel it didn't run any better but it didn't run any worse it wasn't more efficient but it wasn't less efficient it ran the same now that's a garden tractor but again that costs a you know that's so expensive so yes you can burn and someone had the globe one upside down hate that but you can burn unleaded fuel any other one with no problems I've I've run unleaded fuel in them lanterns before and never had an issue you just have to be careful but like I said with the Coleman fuel same thing you have to be careful because it's just as volatile as gasoline it just you know you gotta you'll have to take your tubes out and clean it more often depending on how often you use it if you use it once or twice a year it's no big deal but if you're using it every weekend and using it for a few hours every weekend or whatever a couple times a year you're gonna have to take them tubes out and clean them out clean your you know it's no big deal okay so let's go ahead let's light this one up like I said I've already pumped these up so I'm gonna close it let's light this one there you go move that away from my light be fucking up my life man all right and once once you get it lit like that that's the way it's going to burn and as you can see it seems like it's burning a little better than the other one the other one kind of had a flicker to it uh so there you go I mean that one's not bad but uh yeah I mean I don't see any reason why you can't you know but if you can see up here at the top let me zoom in here a little bit now the other one had a little bit of smoke too this one's got well let me move my cigarette that might that might help here can you see there's just a little bit of smoke just right off of there just a tiny bit now it can be dust burning off of it too because this first time I've had it lit and over year and the last time I lit it um I'm trying to stay close to the camera so I can get both microphones but the last time I lit it I just let it to see if it worked and it did so I said well we're gonna have to get some mantles and I never did well it turns out her dad has two or three packs so that's another lantern we'll have to get out it's going to need a globe okay um it is a propane bottle lantern so we'll put a new globe and mantles in it but there you go guys I mean that's burning great in fact the smoking has stopped up there on the top maybe just a slight bit so it's probably just dust and you know oil stuff off my fingers you know I can't smell it I can't smell any difference while they're burning so yeah it's safe just with anything you know just just make sure that you have good ventilation okay guys so there you go we did both of those I told you it was easy we did both of them it is now 102 a.m 102 a.m so about a half an hour we did both of them and we were talking taking our time so say 15 minutes really um so that's what I wanted to explain about that dual fuel them tanks um they're solid they you know they'll hold it if they hold pressure they're gonna hold that fuel in there um you can I'm gonna have to clean the globe on that one and it would actually look pretty nice you can um you can run unleaded gasoline and then you don't have to run a higher octane just regular what is it 89 octane just the cheapest stuff you can get run in there and it'll be fine you just got to be careful but you have to be careful with the Coleman fuel as well that's why they come in metal cans because they it is every bit as volatile as this like I said I have run it in an internal combustion engine with no issues in fact when we pulled the plug it actually ran cleaner than the gasoline because we pulled the plug out and we cleaned it okay because it was you know sooty it was black color we put the plug in we run that tank of um of uh white gas Coleman fuel in it and it ran fine until it ran out of fuel and when we pulled the plug it was clean it almost looked like he was burning alcohol in it almost um but like I said I didn't notice the difference it didn't give it any more power it didn't give it less power it ran just fine but that stuff's expensive for the gallon you know by gallon uh you can get you know well around here most places the brown two something you know 250 240 for a gallon and you know a gallon of gasoline would last you all summer with one of them things so you know just make sure you wipe it off when you after you fill it make sure you didn't leak anywhere make sure your valve's not leaking or spitting fuel if it is your valve needs clean which we'll get into that on another episode we'll get into I'll just show you how to clean because I think uh monkeys needs to be cleaned so we'll take it apart sometime and we'll clean it just make sure you do that some pipe cleaners whatever um q tips cotton swabs whatever you want to call them clean it out real good and you shouldn't have an issue but yes that's what the dual fuel means anyway guys thanks for hanging out with me late this this Friday night when you see this it'll be Saturday morning well technically it's already Saturday morning so it's not supposed to rain today so I guess some things to do I gotta finish that um the uh whatever the hell you call it that Saturn it's a Saturn view I gotta finish that um they didn't have the rage went back to get the the part and they didn't have they didn't have it in stock even though I was told they had three of them all three of them was the same as the one we had and the guy said he thinks it was box wrong so I think you ordered the same number now if he thinks it was box wrong and it wasn't he's going to get the same one which is going to be the wrong one so hopefully I can get that going tomorrow I'm going to one of the new tents the last one we set up the uh Hillary we're going to uh I'm going to go ahead and um Scotch Guard it make sure it's no leaks because I'm pretty sure it's going to leak sat or Sunday or it's going pretty sure it's going to rain Sunday but it's not supposed to rain today now um perfect situations when you do that you usually want 48 hours but I know when I when I waterproofed the uh the teepee tent um it was raining um 14 16 hours later it was raining and it was fine but it says you should wait 48 hours so if you can you can but if you can get it overnight if you can get it to uh you know overnight without it raining um fine I like to do it when it's set up I know the top the roof is hard to get to but um it just if if you uh because but I don't want when they're set up because that way it it will um you can cover everything really well on it so um if if you don't want it taken down you might get a wrinkle while there's going to be a spot that wasn't covered so anyway we can talk about that more later maybe I'll I'll I'll film some of that for you we'll see okay so anyway guys again thanks for hanging out with me um that little I can see the you know the things moving the analog looking things moving on the on the uh on my screen here keeps drawing my eyes to it just for the mic let me know the mic's working but anyway shabery the myth man legend again thanks for hanging out with me tonight guys appreciate it I'm gonna have a cold beer finish my cigarette I'm gonna edit this video so you guys can enjoy it hopefully and hopefully this will help and maybe someone can learn something from it okay all right we'll see you guys soon bye bye okay guys one thing I never did do was try out this spotlight outside for the night vision so let's check it out and turn it on and see how well it does oh my goodness wow that is that's clear across the street right there's the mailbox it's clear across the street I'll kick off a night vision just so you can see the difference okay that's regular mode now let's kick it on the night vision that's amazing like I said hell that's clear across the street there's our truck there's Ford wow yeah this spotlight really works this is really good for outside for if we are you know just follow a raindrop that'll look wet anyway yeah um so that's amazing no I haven't I haven't it looks like the batteries might be going a little low now I have not charged these batteries since I've had this light but again yeah this is that's amazing okay just want to share it with you guys we'll do some more work yeah I see it's starting to blink yeah it does that when the batteries are going dead to let you know replace me so we'll do some more experimenting with this thing there's the moon up there that's off a night vision so almost a full moon should be a full moon tomorrow night okay guys thanks again bye bye
