thanks again for another great video...question: would the fuel consumption be the same as white gas. In other words if I switched for weight savings, would the fuel necessary to boil be the same, litre to litre? Thanks
Good points. I usually use leather second hand store gloves as well - especially when playing around fire. It was just bad timing I had those gloves on. They're still good (or were good) for dealing with tasks around camp (apart from fire). I'm a firm believer in Merino wool as well.
...continued from last post...I used to be a "tech" gear guy, but have shifted in recent years. There is nothing that keeps me warmer and less flammable than leather, wool, and canvas...particularly in winter when you could also get wet from perspiration. Wool stays warm when wet. Most of that "tech" gear is just overpriced marketing that is less effective and durable, in my opinion. Most of the clothes that you need could be found at the Salvation Army. Just my thoughts.
Thanks Kevin! I've been thinking of getting a Trangia. This video was insightful and informative.
Just a side note. Maybe could use leather gloves instead of OR gloves. You could get some leather gloves at a fraction of the cost at a second hand store or even dollar store (unless if that was a sponsorship freebee). It's worth considering just for safety. Burns in the bush aren't that fun.....
I look at the tent, and the bulk of the stove kit and makes me wonder how you carry all that and the rest of the stuff in your pack without looking like a mountain on 2 legs? Good video. Thank you.
A great review. You can't go wrong with a trangia stove. With no moving parts it's the best stove for wilderness camping. Once you've got used to it you can cook some great food on them. I've got some videos up of my trangia stove and some cooking ideas. Worth a look.
Tip: keep the scraper stationary, pull the ferro rod towards you - less chance of knocking the stove/tinder pile when you strike, and keeps the shower of sparks focused in one place.
Very good timing...I actually ordered this kit last week online and am waiting for it to be delivered...nice to see you demonstrate it but now I'm even more anxious for mine to arrive.
We actually did have Kevin talk about how silent they are - but we cut the film down from 11 min and took that part out. Sorry. Kevin talks too much. But he's written an article with all the detail and will attached it to our site soon.
Love this stove. Glad you reviewed it. I did one of my own on my own channel. But Kevin, you forgot to mention one of it's greatest advantages over so many other stoves: It is blessedly silent! You can cook without disturbing the stillness out there.
Incidentally, I learned about Tradngia stoves when my wife and I took a winter camping course in college. It was the stove provided to all the students. They do work in winter and they are foolproof. Nothing to lose, clog or freeze up. Thanks!
My experience so far is that you would need more - not much more - but more alcohol compared to white gas.
