We actually lived quite well with temps below freezing and no power for 9 days before getting to borrow a generator. We have our own generator, but I'll never give up my coleman stuff. Interesting side note. One of the companies I used to work for took a tour through the Coleman factory in Wichita Ks. Where they built the orfices for the lanterns, the holes are only .0015 in diameter. The manual drill presses used to drill those ran at a tad over 100,000 RPM. The operators were protected from the possible bit breakage by some heavy plexiglass. Not sure if the production is still in Ks, but suspect it's been moved?</blockquote>
