Can this kit also be used on the campfire in case out of fuel for whatever reason? Is it durable enough for that use? Can any of it be integrated with the Swedish Military Cookset/Stove?
@PracticalBushcraft1 Awesome question. The kit doens't appear to be durable enough to be used directly on a campfire. You would have to use indirect heat somehow. I wouldn't put the pots directly over fire. You can with the Swedish mess kit. I've tried to trangia burner from my swedish military cook kit with this and found that it's to big to fit in the stove holder.
All in all, I do think that the 27-7 is a good cook kit. But I feel that the Swedish Military cook kit is far superior.
When you put out the flame it is safer to grip the simmer ring by the "ear" holding the gripping handle upside down, you can easily put the fire out without having your hand in the chimney. Taking off the chimney introduces risk in that the flame is blowing around uncontrollably from wind. Bad if you're cooking in your vestibule.
Great review pal. I own one of these (mine has the tea pot too) and you still taught me something. I never thought to use the gripper to remove the upper wind screen before snuffing the stove. I always played the precarious game of aiming and tossing it into the upper screen onto the stove itself! lol. Never occurred to me to simply use the grippers and screw of the wind screen. I sure love mine. The stove leaks a bit, but at $14, it's an easy thing to replace. Thanks for the review. ~Wolf
Picked one of these up today, really looking forward to trying it out! looks really good. ive got a gas valve stove attatchment for it instead of the burner stove that comes with it.
@ForViewingOnly I carry a MSR Titan Ti kettle with a Caldera Cone. Usually when I am on a solo trek, All I need is boiling water. Thanks for watching.
Good vid. I always do alcohol myself. I noticed that your simmer ring did not have an o ring. Did you remove it so it wouldn't get burnt while putting out the fire, or do you not store fuel in the stove?..... Thanks
@markp1313 The simmer ring is separate from the cap that seals the trangia stove. It clips on top on the cap and does not have a simmer ring. But, If I were going to snuff the stove with cap, I would remove it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Brill vid man verry helpful as i broght one of these second hand on ebay and was thinking that it likely wont have instructions when it comes as its used.
Hi, great video very informative. My only concern is when you removed the windshield to extinguish the burner, the flame blew around quite a bit. Could burn up your hand maybe?
I cycle tour a little bit with the exact same stove kit and its ideal.If you want something light.Get the tiny lil' Kovea effort or an MSR Pocket Rocket and a 0.3ltr cup and cook and eat a small cup of tea or coffee and eat a cup of peas for dinner lol. All kidding aside.You can't beat the Tangia for pure reliability and ease of use.Simply bulletproof !Great review here though mate.Fuel is so easy to come buy here in Oz. I actually ran mine on Vodka once lol ! I hardly ever use my MSR's anymore.
@Ggreenvideos Yeah. I carry it on short packs. Wouldn't carry it on the longer hikes and trips due to the weight. But, If Trangia made one of these in Titanium, I would be all over it.
@Ggreenvideos Depends. I find the Trangia systems to be very good when you actually want to cook food. Like fresh vegetables, meats etc. For heating up bag food and soups my Primus EtaExpress is superior and lighter, but for cooking? Trangia anyday.

Loved this review. Have the same thing myself, and before I use it, it was a great tip of you to just unhook the top before putting it out.
