Gear Throwback-Inspired Camping Gear Perfect For Any Outdoor AdventureThis crop of throwback-looking outdoor gear from Colemnan's 1900 Collection is tough enough for hardcore camping trips but stylish enough for backyard get-togethers.
Words Iron & Air Staff
When you’re lost in the wilderness frantically attempting to escape the clutches of a bloodthirsty Sasquatch, any and all survival tools will do. However, when you’re heading into the woods for a getaway with friends or you’re planning a staycation that involves plenty of backyard cooking and drinking, the outdoor gear selection you pack not only has to work flawlessly, but it also has to look cool without breaking the bank.
From portable stoves and lanterns to coolers and flashlights, Coleman’s 1900 Collection has that vintage style with modern upgrades. Take a look.
The 3-in-1 portable stove two adjustable burners, a removable cast iron grill and griddle for versatile cooking and easy cleaning, and a built-in handle for no-hassle transport.
To light ‘er up, no matches or flame is needed; all you do is turn the knobs and adjust the temperature (up to 24,000 BTUs). In addition, the wind guard keeps the burners protected during breezy weather to ensure you can get your ribeye nice and crispy even when the wind howls.
