Let's see the kit you used to make a brew today.

I'll get things started. Here's what I used to boil water for cup-a-soups for the family at Hengistbury Head today.

Honey Stove with a Trangia Meths Burner and Kettle.

It definitely took longer than using the Trangia base and windshield but was lighter to carry and took up less space in the bag.

This is mine from a little outing last week, crusader mug, home made lid, trangia stove in a bushcraft essentials cooker thingy with the front left off to make putting the stove in easier..


Sent from somewhere?

The pictures aren't from today (didn't have a camera with me) but the stove I used this morning for my early brew. Made by a mate for me as a birthday present this year.

The pictures were taken on it's test burn in the garden a couple of weeks ago. Cracking wee stove.

Managed to get out again today. Found a nice spot along a New Forest brook.

Left the Honey stove at home and took the Trangia base and wind shield instead.

Spent the afternoon in the Forest. Used the Trangia for the brew up again. Given the number of fires set by arsonists just lately, I'm think it would be inappropriate to light a fire.

Here's a better view of the site.

It's nice spot, well away from from any footpath, surrounded by scrub with a watercourse nearby. The watercourse rises from a spring in the Forest, so should be OK to drink, after a boil....though I suspect it may dry up during the summer. I think this could become one of a network of "hideouts" we use in the Forest.

That's the one NS40, don't think I paid that much for mine though.
For simplicity I use a hexi block but works equally as well with twigs , in the Altoid tin makes a nice compact kit that fits I'm a pocket.
