Lanterns

Ah, but that's the whole beauty of a Tilley lamp see. It's the art of lighting the vaporiser with Meths until just right, then cracking open the valve and "pop" the mantle ignites and you have that wonderful soft light, the comforting hiss of the pressured vaporiser, the need to occasionally pump up the pressure, that wonderful faint whiff of burring paraffin, coupled with the warmth of the lamp, whilst you sit and listen to the sounds of the wilderness.

Are you on commission with Tilley?

Ooh! that takes me right back to my Boy Scout camping days. I think I may still have my old Tilley lurking somewhere in my black hole of a garage too along with an old Primus stove.

Tilley lamps are simply the best!
Had one years ago and it gives just the right smell and atmosphere.
Anyone got a spare for sale?
