@analogfusion Yeah I realized that on re-read. Still suggest a new cap if you want to try it. They’re cheap & easy online.

Today I finally bit the bullet and ordered a hurricane lamp from Vermont Lantern.@analogfusion If it’s old, check the cap style and the state of the seal. Some of the oldest ones could spray pressurized fuel if you weren’t careful. They were recalled in the 60’s but some of the older caps are still out there. (If the cap has a single vent hole in the side, replace it before using. The multi-slotted ones are safer.)

Today I finally bit the bullet and ordered a hurricane lamp from Vermont Lantern.@analogfusion Last year I had a bit of a flirtation with restoring old Coleman lanterns. There’s some cool engineering in there.
I think the current count is 4 plus a stove, all in good working order.

I will not dunk on #Artemis.I watched the launch with my breath held. I watched Challenger live…
I didn’t realize how much faith I’d lost in the ability of any organization to do anything big in the modern age. NASA pulled off the launch; here’s hoping the rest goes well.

Yes, we did this half a century ago with old tech. But then we didn’t, for a very long time. The longest journey starts with a single step, etc.
