  • nice one

  • I must admit that lately I prefer to carry a 230g gas canister and a tiny gas burner (Kovea supalight, including a Primus Windscreen) inside the Trek 900 pot: a gas burner makes more noise, but for practically the same weight and size it is much easier to light and the fuel lasts for more days!

  • how do you wash it? just use water? and what happens when you run out of the fuel?

  • @juki0h Water and a (rough) sponge is normally sufficient (I always carry a little sponge in stead of the towel now). And usually I also carry a little bottle of detergent inside the pot for the tougher cleaning jobs. Fuel should be okay for a day or two. If it runs out I have a bottle at the car/camp.

  • what did you cook with them?

  • @namgihwa Those were noodles!

  • Sure looks like a good setup. I like the pot/frypan combo. Your stove and windscreen are very nice, too. Thanks.

  • Rather just make a fire.

  • @SuhwoopGGs503 'Tis your choice! Some like the dependability of a burner above the possibility of no/wet/illegal wood for the fire. It's great not having to search out wood when hungry and tired.

  • I think I'm going to get myself this exact same setup. I used trangias for years before switching to gas but the Mini has definitely piqued my interest again. Coupled with a swish looking set of Snow Peak pots I think you're onto a winner. Nice location too.

  • i think you should talk instead of captions

  • absolutely gr8 vid. u picked perfect place tom make vid too...by stream i love it ty karen

  • i want one. how much for all that?

  • @prometheus19799791 In Europe you can combine this kit for about 70 euros (50 for the pans plus 20 for the burner).

  • @MrGearaholic Do you ever worry about queers messing wiht you when your out by yourself?

  • perfect or sitting along the lake and fishing and make lunch same time. cool cook set

  • Changed the fuel type from the expensive liquid fuel my local camping store recommended over to simple cheap mentholated spirits and now I'm cooking up some good food on the trail, this trangia is my go to cooking system now :D

  • I used this stove but couldn't seem to get the flame to bloom instead I got a large orange flame that blackened my stove and my pot :(

  • Cool video! Don't forget to label your fuel bottle, and anything else poisonous.

  • Well sorted!

  • Nice to see a demo done outside for a change.

  • my trangia was making my pot black just like yours and i bought methyl hydrate from local outdoors store. amazing to see the difference. probably you would know anyways. cheers

  • I LOVE your video!!!!! I already have the snowpeak 900 ti and I wanted to buy the mini trangia (stove and windshield) but I couldn't find information if it would fit in my pot. until now!!! great kit!!!!

  • Were did you get the supplies at

  • Nice set up...thanks for sharing :)

  • Is this the aluminum or titanium? Went to there website the aluminum is more $ range.

  • @2kargarage1 The pots are Snow Peak, so titanium. The pot stand is aluminium (or aluminum in your case ;-)), by Trangia.

  • Great bit of one man cook kit, nice one!

  • maggots!!!!! run for your life!!!

  • I like methanol gel myself, seems to burn hotter then normal alcohol.

    :)

    I picked up a new burner mess set, I'll do some reviews on it as well!

  • What kinda of fuel is that? Cool video

  • @ryanrrx Thanks! I used methylated spirit ("meths)".

  • @MrGearaholic

    You used alcohol whether you know it or not. :D

    Nice vid.

  • thank you for leaving just the wonderful music of nature as your soundtrack :)

  • @danderson8127 Heck yeah... love it - thanks twice

  • Looks like a nice compact system. I'd loost the fishnet stuff sack. It doesn't seem like you will need it with that strap. That, or loose the strap. Real serious set up. Good video.

  • Man, I love this video, but at the same time I hate it because it makes me want to buy the Snow Peak Trek 900 and the Trangia burner! It actually got me to buy the Trangia, now I'm working on the cookset LOL

  • Good video. Thanks. I am thinking of getting the 900. Looks like a great set.

  • niffty, better then my open flame

  • Nice scenery and cook set

  • Wow man,I liked the video . Great pretty place to enjoy cooking ,you seem to have all the nice things,and it all looked and worked so very well for you.. I hope some day to buy items like you have. Thanks for taking the time to video.

  • what is the boil time for 2 cups of water with the trangia

  • @nroc13 I have no clue, because I never measured it :-). And besides, it heavily depends on the wind conditions. All I know is that the Trangia in this setup (so without the special Trangia pots) is not very efficient/fast. But it's light, small and burns without lots of noise.

  • @MrGearaholic

    The set you are using, I believe, was created for the folks who run the endurance competition. The burner comes with a tiny pot and cover, and called Mini Trangia 28. If exposed to wind, alcohol stove does not perform well. Have you tried M25 or M27? These are the ones that will impress you with the utility of the Trangia alcohol burner. You can cook virtually in any weather. With the gas burner insert, it is a powerhouse.

  • Hello im going to a festival soon and am taking one of these sort of burners. However i dont have a little cap to put on the top, so will the flames be too big to cook anything on? Also how long will it take to cook things like noodles and tins of beans? Thanks for anyone who can help! :

  • Love the idea of the strap to hold the cover on and keep it from rattleing and having stuff fall out. What did you use for a strap?

  • @Edzherenow99 Thanks, I use a small "tension strap". Here in The Netherlands they sell these at the better outdoor shops to keep... eh... pots together :-)

  • @MrGearaholic heh.... ok thanks. I'll look for something like it here in the states. thanks!

  • @Edzherenow99

    Campmor sells them: "arno" strap. Europeans use them, seldom seen in America.

  • when u did ur modification on the pot stand does the 900 like wobble a little since i have the exact same problem the pot is a tad to small for the pot stand!

  • @nroc13 Yeah, I agree: the fit is not perfect. Not so much of a wobble but the 900 might slip off if you touch it too much. But a bit of "fine tuning" the pot stand (with needle-nose pliers) might help...

  • To avoid soot on your pot use pure methanol (alcohol methyl) it will render a blue flame and will no soot your cuttlery at all. Yellow flames denotes unpure methanol, ethanol or even isopropyl alcohol.

    Put the handles on the lee-side to avoid burning your hands without using gloves (if there is a wind of course).

    Otherwise a beautiful vid ;)

  • Comment removed

  • Nice set. Good idea with the belt. I just got a 700 and 900.

  • I have a similar setup, with an East German mess kit and Trangia. I was looking for a practical stand. I cut a role of wire mesh to make a stand, but there was obviously no wind resistance. I came across the Coghlans stove for about $14 Canadian. It folds up nice and has excellent wind protection.

    Good video!

  • A brilliant way to cook Ramen noodles

  • Nice video and cook set. I love a trangia type stove. I use Swedish Mil surplus stove and mess kit.

  • The water looks very very clear, I don't much like the maggot stew and the corpse near the water but, other than that nice video and great pot.

  • nice vidio mate, I'm setting off on an expidition in a few days and I needed something like this... I'm totally buying one of these. Anyone have a link to a site that sells at a decent price?

  • i love that item..the question is where do i get one?!!

  • Google Images stove mini trangia

  • i keep seeing these pot stands for the trangia , who makes it?

  • its an official trangia item, trangia mini 25 i think the model is, comes with alu pan / frying pan / lid, the stove and the stand

  • Google Images stove mini trangia

  • 5/5 stars! Excellent backpack cooking setup. I use the same thing except I have the Trek 700 with a snow peak 450 Ti cup that fits nice inside the 700. I can also get salt, pepper, folding fork & spoon and a washing cloth to fit inside too. Gotta love backpacking!!

  • Thats very good quality filiming. What kind of camera?

  • Thanks, I used my Canon Legria FS20. No fancy HD stuff or anything, but nice, simple and compact to carry around while hiking.
