First Camping Gear

[soFlaNative]

As for how long fuel lasts I had two cans of Coleman fuel. The top of the cans are rusty so I don't trust the fuel to use in the lanterns. However I used one this past winter for lighting piles of brush on fire and it lite quickly.

That is some costly firestarter

. I have 4 cans of the stuff, only one unopened. All at least 20 yrs. old and all with surface rust. I think the gas is so volatile it can't absorb water and so pure there is really nothing in it to go stale. I would use it with no hesitation.


"Kerosene lasts for decades if kept out of sunlight or in a dark container."
I would have to see that as I did not know that.
