About this product

Product Information

This is Book 8 in The Non-Electric Lighting Series. The series as a whole is aimed at people who want to survive whatever Mother Nature throws at us - blizzards, blackouts, or Carrington events.Unfortunately, when we get to "alcohol lamps," the term conjures up a vision of a lab-type lamp with a small wick and almost invisible flame. Alcohol MANTLE lamps, the subject of this book, are a different animal altogether. Lanterns that use mantles produce light on par with electric light bulbs.In France, Tito-Landi (brand) alcohol-burning mantle lamps (producing 100+ watts-worth of light) were produced from before World War One until the 1970's. There was nothing comparable in the USA. We lived in the shadow of Standard Oil and General Motors.As a lamp fuel, alcohol has some advantages over petroleum-based fuels.For one thing, alcohol does not degrade in storage. For another, alcohol produces less carbon monoxide than a petroleum-based fuel (ANY petroleum-based fuel) making it a better choice for indoor use. Third, in an emergency situation, alcohol (as lamp fuel) can supply a solution that most people are not aware even exists. You can pick up some rubbing alcohol while they are searching for propane cylinders. (Although you do need the appropriate lantern, of course. You cannot just dump alcohol in your Coleman and burn it.)Lastly, alcohol is perhaps the ultimate survival fuel. In Europe, World War Two saw many restrictions on petroleum products. So farmers made what was essentially high-proof moonshine and burned it in their lanterns. Primus (a Swedish brand of lantern similar to Coleman) even introduced a lineup of alcohol-burning models.Unfortunately, Primus alcohol-burning lanterns are expensive collectibles today. On the upside, this book shows how to convert three relatively common mantle lanterns to alcohol.This is hard info to come by in the USA. It's info that, at the very least, you should have tucked away for future reference.Are you interested in prepping? This is prepping.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged. I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is. This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
