Pro tip: My Coleman lantern went from a sputtering mess to a steady glow in under a minute.

I cleaned the generator tube with a pin after it sat for a season, and the difference was instant. Has anyone else found a simple fix that saved a piece of gear from the junk pile?

Oh man, that's the best feeling. I swear half my camping gear is held together by similar little hacks.

Wait, half your gear? I mean, my old tent pole has a bit of duct tape on it, but that's a whole other level. Are we talking like, a stove held together with a paperclip and hope? Or a sleeping bag zipper that only works if you wiggle it just right? That's kind of amazing and also a little scary.
