beautiful thing. If der ain't no givin and takin be'tween the newcomers and the old timers ther'd be no camp.

I bet my old coleman leaks right now. I might fix it...or maybe not. Seem to remember my dad fiddling with the one I have a few moons back. Might be an experience for the lads to replace mantles, seals and whatnot as the sun goes down. course dad waited until the sun WAS down to find out something was broke.
