Successes burn brightly.But there's about a 50% failure mostly at burnin time from yares or holes developing. Other failures developed after good start .

Just because something is natural based doesn’t make it safe unfortunately. The epa clearly states this is harmful on skin and even if it touches clothes they should immediately be removed and washed.

This is after one year. It's been a good sturdy chair with a little wear and tear on the armrests.

Purchased this sleeping bag about two years ago (May 2017). It is roomy and comfortable. It stores in our tent trailer and is used about three times a year. On our last trip, the pin broke off the zipper. The pin is the little piece that slides into the zipper when starting to zip the bag...without it, the bag won’t zip. So now we must sleep with one side open. Very frustrating development for an otherwise comfortable and pristine bag.

These are a must-have for my Coleman Northstar Propane Lantern. Two mantels come in each package. I'm not entirely sold on the insta-Clip thing--the clips ALWAYS break off before I get the mantel on the tubing, and I'm forced to fumble with the small leftover pieces of metal. Still, it's an annoyance rather than a significant detractor. Overall, the mantels are extremely delicate so I typically have e a few packs on hand. Price was better than local stores and shipping was quick with Prime. I recommend.

This is the first family tent that I've bought other than a backyard pop-up. Size: it fits four people well with air mattresses at either end. I can see fitting 6 people in a row lengthwise, but it's hard to see how 8 people could fit unless no one used air mattresses and you were side by side like sardines. Interior space: The center has a good amount of head space, if you put the sleeping bags at either end, it makes a comfortable space. There is a side pocket on either end to store things and a light hook at each end and in the center. The zip opening for an electric cord is handing, although it would be nice to have one on the other side as you either have to orient the tent towards the outlet or have a long extension cord. I really like the structure to the door. Set up and take down: it's easy to put up once you know where everything goes. There were a couple of steps on the instructions that were a little confusing, basically everything connects to the silver rings. Once you understand that, it's easy. The take down only takes about 5 minutes. The hard part is folding it to get back in the case. The first time we used it, I was able to get the tent back into the case, but there is no way the rain fly was going back in. The second time, I couldn't even get the tent in and zipped. There must be a trick to getting all the air out and it flat enough, but I haven't figured it out yet. Weathering the elements: We've used this twice. The first time, it stood up under very windy conditions. The tents of people around us were collapsing, but this little tent held up to the winds. We haven't used it in rain yet. Edited May 2018: We took this out on a trip in some Houston rains and I didn't notice any leaking at all. Packing up, I asked another camper the trick to getting a tent rolled up tight enough to get it back in the case. The trick is the tent poles. Lay down your tent pole bag at the end of the tent and fold the tent in thirds so that the folded tent is no wider than the tent pole bag. Then place your pole bag at the end of the tent and begin to slowly roll up the tent, allowing the weight of the poles to push the air out of the tent. The experienced camper told me it was important to go slow and not force the air out or it could damage the tent. Since the tent is a rectangular dome, there will be more tent in the center, so you have to be sure to keep folding in the extra as you roll up to it. The trick is when you come to the other end. Since it has a tub bottom, all the air will be pushed ballooning up that waterproof (and airproof) area. There will be no place for the air to escape. To get the last bit of air out, roll back the end you've been rolling over the stakes until you come to the end wall window. Next roll up the end you've been trying to reach, which is ballooned up. So the pole end is just unrolled to the window and the opposite end is rolling TO the window, pushing out all the trapped air. Unroll the end with the poles to the opposite end again. If there is still too much air, repeat until the whole thing will roll flat. I had to do this three times, but in the end everything fit. I was able to fit everything back into the case completely with room to spare.

Exact match for a broken handle and arrived on schedule. Recommend this seller.

I bought this chair at the end of March. About a month ago it started to get a small hole at the end of the armrest, where the metal pole slides in. Now we're midway through June and it's a full hole now with the pole poking through. Although its a comfy camping chair, I would not suggest buying as the quality is quite low.

Works for the best with me..

I bought this canopy around 2016. I use it for dinner and poker when me and the guys go camping. It has been through at least 4 severe thunderstorms, and just this past weekend, in the middle of the woods, it went through a hail storm. The radio went crazy with the severe thunderstorm warnings, telling us that hail would be large enough to damage cars, and to take refuge in the lowest point in your house. My buddy asked me if the canopy had a basement! LOL Then the storm hit. The hail came first, and the biggest pieces were dime to quarter sized, but mostly dime sized hail. I always use the 10 inch spikes in the canopy, as opposed to the little ones that come with it. They work. When the wind gusts kick up, we had to unzip both doors to allow the wind to more easily blow through the canopy. We once had a storm so bad, that me and a buddy had to hold on to the frame, to keep it from blowing into Lake Erie. The point I am making, is that my screened canopy has been battle tested, and it still does the job. I spray it with Kiwi Camp Dry on the 1st trip, every summer, and it has never failed to keep us dry, unless the wind was howling so bad that water was coming through the screen. Now days, as you can see in the picture, it is a little lopsided from various storms, and other abuses that we may or may not have done to it, after a night of drinking, but it still does what I bought it to do. Keep out the bugs, and keep us dry. The only con, is that there is not a person on this Earth, that can set this up in 3 minutes! It takes about a half hour to set up properly. That is not bad. A half hour to set up a beautiful canopy, that will keep you mosquito free, and dry for the whole weekend, or however long you happen to be using it for. I am going to retire my canopy after our winter deer hunting trip, and that is only because I like my camping equipment looking great, for when I am camping among folks in the state parks. Right now the canopy isn't getting too many style points, but it always delivers the results. I'll be passing the old canopy down to my kid for hunting, and I'll have a new one for next camping season...

I already keep kerosene for my wick lanterns and heaters, so the idea of a much brighter lantern using the same fuel is very appealing to me. Other than the pre-heat process (not hard, just takes a few minutes) it is just as easy to use as any other Coleman lantern. Many reviews note that the lantern doesnt work very well or not at all at less than full throttle. If you want to run it less than full blast, use the standard 21 mantle that most twin mantle lanterns use. These are easier to find and my lantern works just fine at half throttle with them. The picture shows my lantern using a 21 mantle at half fuel. I do wish the glass was made in USA, its pretty lame to see "Made in China" on such a quintessential American product even if it is only one part. Still, I give big props to Coleman for continuing to offer these lanterns at a very reasonable price and mostly USA made.

Dislike the false weight they advertised which is why i bought this item. It weighs 3x the amount .63kg. I'm sure the quality is fine because coleman is consistent throughout, but was a little bummed to be honest

Not big, but not small - but just right for what I needed. I was able to get my cot, with a mattress inside, as well as my clothing bag. Now, if you’re trying to stand up in here, this is not it. If you just need it for a place to sleep for the night. Bought it for a festival - so it fit the need perfectly.

First chair ripped immediately. Ordered a replacement and that one came ripped already. Junk chairs. Do not buy.

Here is another item that we purchased for my husband to attend Scout Camp. He is a new Scoutmaster and this will be his first year attending camp. As a leader he doesn’t have to sleep on the ground but can take a cot with him. Now, my husband is not a small man and wanted to be sure he had a sturdy cot that would handle his size. There are several things that he really likes about the Coleman Pack Away Cot. One is that it is 80” long and sits 17” high so he doesn’t have to sit down so low to get on the cot and will hold up to 300lbs. Another feature he really likes are the crossed, metal legs that easily fold out and back up again and then the folded cot fits into a zippered case. He likes that the hinge at the center of the side rails is covered by a canvas flap. The last feature that he really likes is that the side table can fasten on either side of the cot. At just over 20lbs this is not a backpacking cot but will work well for camping in a spot where he can park close to the campsite.
