Hi everyone! I was curious if anyone knows if the Norrona Recon backpacks are still made in Norway or has their production been moved to China like so many other products? Thanks!

Hello! I was curious if anyone here might know the composition of those Swedish military kuksas. I am mostly interested to see if there might be something in their composition we might want to avoid such as BPA (bisphenol A). Thanks!

Going by the photo it looks to be a hard-anodized set, not duossal I'm afraid.

Hello all, I hope that maybe some Shangri-La 3 (or 5) owners can answer my question. I was curious if the Shangri-La Nest's floor is the same as the seperate floor (the one without mossie net) or is the seperate floor stronger or more waterproof than that of the nest's floor? I ask because I...

The US mess kit is okay (although limiting), but I like the British setup better. It has higher walls which means you can boil more. That also means that you can store more items in it (I like how it can be used as storage tin). It also has two tins, which the larger one can double as a lid for...

Hello all! I was looking into the BCB mess tins but I liked the regular mess tin setup better. I prefer stainless steel over aluminium so I checked to see if British mess tins (rectangular type) were ever made in steel. I found that the pattern 37 mess tins were made of steel and were tinned...

And Estonia is where the great Primus Omnifuels are made! :)

I think one reason they chose these burners was because they don't produce as much noise or light (a big consideration for soldiers). Just think how much light you produce when pre-heating a liquid fuel stove at night- and then it gets a bit noisy when its fired up (if its like most liquid fuel...

Hello all! The brochures say that the Trangia 27 is suited for 1 to 2 people and the 25 suited for 3 to 4. I was curious if Trangia users here have found that to be accurate or perhaps the sizing may be suitable for less/more than stated? And thats asking in regards to real cooking- not just...

During the Cold War many countries had large reserves of equipment on hand. Now that it has been over for about 20 years much of it has been sold off and there has not been as much manufacture of said equipment. Therefore the stocks are going down and in turn the number of surplus shops and...

In regards to Firelite's story, I didn't know till now that there are portable electric fences. How long would the battery last on one and what size battery might it take?

According to Bestglide.com the dimensions of the tins are : 7" x 5" x 2 1/4" (in inches). It seems the decimal place was incorrectly moved once to the right on the supplied metric dimensions.

The well of the Crusader cooker is not big enough to take a Trangia burner (commercial or military). Even if it was I don't think it would be a great setup because there would only be a little bit of room between the mug and the burner so your boil time and efficency would not be so good. Some...

Just so you know, the only US issue Alice packs were the large and the medium size, there was no such thing as a small Alice pack. All of the mini/small Alice packs are just knock offs made in the Far East or some other third world country. Now I haven't personally used one, but anytime...

I like these more than Zippos. One reason is that the fuel chamber/wick combo seperates from the windshield so that you can light things with greater precision than with the windshield box on the top of the Zippo. Given the length of the fuel chamber/wick unit you can light things with them...

Here is a new 27-7 Duossal on auction here at Tradera.com http://www.tradera.com/Trangia-27-7-Duosal-NYTT-auktion_340241_116687493

The Highlander burner must be a bit smaller than the Trangia burner. When I tried to place my Trangia burner in the Crusader cooker, the burner itself stands a bit taller than the walls of the cooker as the Trangia is sitting atop the Crusader's fuel ring whereas this Highlander burner appears...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the PLCE "NI" chest rig's utility pouches will hold a complete Crusader unit (Bottle, mug, steel mug, and cooker)?

You might also look at the Olicamp Space Saver Cups. They are made of stainless steel and fit on the 1 litre Nalgene bottles. They have folding handles and measuring mark graduations. I've no idea as to their availability on your side of the pond though.

Assuming someone is not going to be wearing webbing with the bergen, what size range is encompassed by the two bergen sizes- short and long back?
