I collect old Coleman liquid fuel and propane stoves and repair them if need be. I also collect Coleman lanterns.
I don’t usually pay much for them unless they are really collectible.
However if the time ever came and I needed to barter for needed items, these stoves I believe would be a very desirable commodity.
Here’s a few pictures of them i accumulated.
What’s your barter items and what’s your thoughts on cook stoves for if the sHTF barter items ?

Been collecting barter items, And cook stoves seem to be my main collecting item for SHTF bartering.
