I am looking for a PALS/Molle compatible pouch that is the right size - give or take - for one of the Swedish Army oval-shaped Trangia stoves. Does anyone know of such a pouch that would fit? Does anyone know of a company that makes such a thing? If so, where can I find one? Many thanks in...

For me, the attraction to 'bushcraft' is simple: it enables me to get to know, understand and appreciate my immediate, natural surroundings. Being out of doors and abandoning the multi-layered complexities of modern living are bonuses but not, in themsleves, the motives for me pursuing this...
