We are still using a Tilley camping stove that my parents bought in the early 60s.   It is super and although I do look at new stoves from time to time haven't seen one that is better.     It has 2 burners and a little grill.   Really compact and very cute.

Last year we stopped using the gas lamp from the late 60s as I worried about the fumes/ risk of fire in the tent.   We do cheap LED lights now.     We still use it to sit out in the evenings though.

I have a wooden mallet that my dad bought in the 1940's. It still has the original handle and it's much better than the modern rubber ones.
