I used them quite a bit when I was a teenager. then a few of my friends dads who worked in the coal mines would give me their old wheat lights....some would last for a few months but others would last for several years.

My grandfather is who started me on the carbide lights......I still have two of them at my dad's place.

I coonhunted for the first time in 1983. The man I went with had a carbide and a 5 cell I think. I still have a carbide I bought when I was 12 which was 3 years later. Its all I knew there was.

I can remember we used a kerosene lantern. Never had a carbide light.
My job as a kid was to tote the 5 cell flashlight, but Pop never put the fifth battery in til we got to the tree. Now we light up the sky, what a change!!

I still have a carbide light. We used a 6 cell flashlite with an extention we bought from Boatmans to shine the tree. A coon will look at a carbide flicker quicker than anything else. I won't say what we used for water if we didn't have anything else.
