looks like i'm in the majority so far
WE TOLD HIM TO KNOT TO bring a Coleman lantern
a new PROBY member of our canoeing group brought a double mantle Coleman lantern so he could watch the camp fire
WE TOLD HIM TO KNOT TO...
as soon as he got it filled pumped up lit and set it down so he could see the camp fire one of the senior members of the group casually walked over and picked it up
once in hand it was carried 25 paces away into a clearing and placed on a non-combustible spot of dirt
upon returning to the camp area the afore mentioned senior member of the group calmly turned and drew
the report was immediately followed by a huge fire ball(we all wear safety lenses in our every day eye wear) about 25 paces from camp :-O
the PROBY was instructed to police the area in the morning if he wanted to come again
HE DID a real well job of cleaning the mess leaving absodadgumlutely no evidence of the incident
BACK TO HEADLAMPS CANDLE LANTERNS AND THE CAMP FIRE ;-)

LOL I would "knot" be camping with your group. Even though I don't typically use the Coleman lantern while camping I have no desire to camp with people that want to tell me what and what "knot" to use while camping. Sound like you and your "senior" members are wrapped to tight.
Been using these things for 50 years. No issues so far. Anyone shoots one of my antique lanterns and I'll beat his fool ass to death with his own gun.
