A revelation - so glad I got it

Just tracked one down - they are like hens teeth - a Swiss Ranger Volcano Stove for backpacking.



I was tempted by the Kelly Kettle but at the high price PLUS accessories it can run out to £60-£70.

I have bought the Swiss stove for £11.50 new and in its original packing,

Result..

It takes twigs, pine cones almost anything. Plus a gel burner, hexamine blocks or trangia spirit burner. Very versatile and light.






Now I just need to get out and use it. May spend a night at the Dodford Inn for a "not so dry" run. Camping, booze and entertainment.

Have already got a Trangia which is just superb but relies upon meths which leaves you with the problem of running out - meths is not as easy to get hold of as it used to be. H&S mania no doubt.
