Hey Lee if you have a back yard that would be a good start.

If theirs a lake to fish nearby it may be easier to convince them.

Spruce Run in Clinton has a nice campground and pretty good fishing. I only go in the Spring since Summer gets too crowded.

I used to fish there with my dad, from where i live now that's about a two hour ride, we have some campgrounds down near me that look good, i could probably get one of my kids to go but my youngest is going to be tough but he loves fishing
Looks like a White gas / propane combo model. I have all different types of stoves at ranch and in hunting gear to eat SNACKS
Had several types if those stoves over the years. Old ones used white gas, newer run on propane. Some run on alcohol or sterno.
Finally conceded that the propane stoves and rechargable LED lights are much more practical and less messy to use and transport. Decided to sell my "white gas" stuff at a garage sale (2019) and fortunately decided to check out what the going price should be, considering that the two stoves and two lanterns had little signs of use, despite 2 of the four were hand-me-down's from my parents and nearly 50 years old (my family camped quite frequently, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, church camps, family vacations, but my Dad was OCD on how things are packed, as well as the proper use of such "tools" and I have continued that legacy), so long story short... amazingly, I asked AND GOT (!) : $45 for the 3-burner, $45 for the 2-burner with canvas case, $45 for the 2-mantle with case(near new) and $50 for the vintage 2-mantle with carrying case that includes proprietary Coleman funnel and mantels slots built in. I figured I had aimed somewhat high, but it gave me wiggle room.... totally unnecessary. After the guy who bought the 3-burner had paid, he informed me that he would have easily given $75, considering the condition ! Oh well...at least it's in the hands of someone who appreciates it ..he promised that he bought it to use , not re-sell...I believe him.
If you choose to upgrade, clean well (especially stoves..Mom was worse than Dad on care and cleaning the stove, it paid off, apparently) and ask fairly high, the "hip nostalgia" crew is camping during the pandemic.
Me ? I do not miss the mess or, most of all with the lanterns.......the roar !
I prefer the snap and crackle of the fire and the varying wildlife sounds to be my audio, when camping....& NO FRIGGIN BOOM BOXES NEITHER, DAMMIT !!! LOL !

I still have one of those stoves and three of the lanterns. They work too! I've used the stove to melt lead to pour sinkers and bullets with as well.

Vintage Coleman stove. Great for whipping up a SNACK. Bummer is the fuel will break the bank now.
