    car kettle ideas

    that is on my short list. it will be either a crusader mug and stove or an Esbit 585ml Cookset Stove (very similar idea to the crusader) or I can use my gas camping stove and remember to be careful about storing the gas in the car ( I have a black car that can get very hot during the summer) I...
