isnt that just a paint tin with some holes in it? Big Grin

What does the Dept of the Environment want with a camping stove anyway?

Most would consider it a bit heavy if you carry the whole works.

I have been known to carry just the burner and fuel and make a trivet from three rocks for the pot.

For that matter I have been known to carry just a bottle of alcohol.

I carry a can of tuna for my first meal on the trail and wash the can, then punch holes all around the top with a church key or an SAK or whatever I have.

A good splash of alcohol (or hand sanitizer) in the tuna can and light it, then sit my tin billy on top and I have a stove for the trip and have actually reduced my pack weight by the contents of the can.

That conjures up a picture a cityslicker would envy - I do!

I loved that old Trangia but must have given it away some time ago when I became disabled and thought I had no further use for it (what a pillock!).

I thought you said earlier that you carried a Coleman or did I misunderstand?

I'd guess that adaptability is the key - as required, when and how?
