6 stoves & 11 lanterns?? Hello?? I'll agree that you do need a few
extra mantles, but what you need most is fewer lanterns! If any of
those lanterns are really old, they could be worth good money on eBay.
Here's one that sold for $365, although it uses kerosene:

I tend to pick them up at yard sales for $2-5. Often times still in the
box.

People get a camping bug, gear up, go a couple times, and then store the
stuff out in the garage, never to be used again. They wind up at the
Goodwill etc. Stoves in particular. I dont think Ive ever paid more
than $6 for a stove and it was a 3 burner Coleman multifuel, still in
the box, though I did have to scrape off a layer of what appeared to be
pork and beans from one burner, the others never having appeared to even
being lit.

The stoves I use regularly particularly out in the shop in winter for
heating and for melting lead, or tempering stuff. Cheap, easy to
maintain, works well. For heat treating fancy..Ive got the 2 Kress
ovens with controllers. Shrug

Ive given away a number of stoves and lanterns over the years, but I
dont have any anti-ques....G unfortunatly.

But being the outdoors sort, and having grown up in the Frozen North,
Ive got a fetish for having a closet full of warm coats, devices to keep
me warm and things to help me see in the dark

Man, I gotta start shopping Goodwill. So far, I've only dropped things off.

How many stoves do you want? Just prior to Christmas, I passed on 4 of
them in one store alone. Im getting picky these days, I only snag
Multifuel units. The old ones would burn on unleaded, but tended to gum
up the generators if you let em sit for a while, so if you have to use
gasoline in an older unit, burn some regular naptha/Coleman fuel/etc as
soon as you can afterwards.

Carrots???

Them too. In the pantry. About 40 Ball quart jars full. Its nice to live
in one of the ag capitals of the world.

A pickup truck bed filled to overflowing with carrots costs about
$30USD. Folks buy em, the seconds and culls, for horse feed.
