A New Camp Stove

We were camping recently in a Minnesota State Park camping cabin. The cabins are so cute, as only camping cabins can be. HA They have two large bunk beds, a table with benches, electricity, a ceiling fan, and a screened-in front porch. Compared to a tent, itโ€™s luxurious.

Gary and I have always enjoyed camping, and have camped many times over the years, using a tent. Now we like the camping cabins.

When Gary and I first got married one of our first major purchases were sleeping bags. We paid a lot of money for good ones forty-four years ago, and they are still in great condition, and have served us well. 

Our very old Coleman camp stove.

Another camp supply that held up well was the green, Coleman camp stove. Gary owned it even before we were married. We used it a lot over the years, even converting it to the new canister-style propane mini-tanks a few years back. But, finally, it started to rust out and we decided it was time to buy a new one.

So, on our recent camping trip we had the inaugural test run of our new Triton Coleman camp stove. It is so sleek and clean, and it passed with high marks!

We will not be using this stove for forty-four more years, but we think it will serve us well when we need it in the coming years…

The new stove worked even in the rain.

  1. I’ve always wanted to try staying in one of those camper cabins given tenting holds no appeal to me. My concern has always been the distance from a restroom given my need to get up at night.

    Good that your new camp stove works great. And I’m impressed by the durability of those sleeping bags.

    1. Yes, that is a concern…the distance from restroom to cabin. However, the stars seem to shine brightest in those early morning hours. ๐Ÿ˜‰

      The North Face sleeping bags are impressive.

  2. Used to love camping and the beautiful things that made each campground unique.
    After being rained on in our tent more than once, we enjoyed a camper but those camping cabins sound wonderful!

    1. Rain “dampens” the camping experience, for sure.
      I’m glad you were able to continue the camping experience in a camper.
      The cabins are great, but you do need to reserve ahead of time.
