convince me i need a ..........

Stainless steel swedish army trangia set up.

looking for something compact that i can take on bimbles and fishing to heat up soup and cook sausages and onions with, nothing fancy just snacks and a brew.

i've got an Optimus (sp) folding mini gas burner thingy but with the cannister, pots and pan, it still takes up room, plus food etc. and my standard trangia cook set is just too big.

is there room in the top of the swedish army trangia set up to store a couple of sausages, coffee sachets / cup a soup and a collapsable swedish army cup ?

all advice and tips welcome

cheers guys.

I have a honey stove and a very small pot/pan set with my tatonka burner in, packs down very small and can do all you want.

cheers for that Mike but i've got the hots for the swedish army set up, i just need convincing that the rollocking from SWMBO will be worth it

I'll knock you up a Whitebox clone next week if you want to try one? They work better on a wider pot about 12cm across

I use a few different setups but my favorites are:

Crusader mug, stove and nato water bottle with heavy cover lid
USGI Canteen, mug and stove
White box stove and zebra billy can
MyTiMug, MyTiCup and Ti hexi stove and have bought another
Stainless steel nalgene and hobo stove with tatonka burner
Collapsible wood stove and billy can

All effective and i want to take pics of all of them in use for my blog, will when i get some time!!

Crusader or Ti id go for though

Have a look at some of the evernew stuff it not cheap but its small and very light ,I have the ti solo cook set ,ti burner ,and the ti trivet its good kit and in total only weighs 200g all in ,the only thing is you might have to cut your sausages up to cook them

Work on it's own but I add a honey stove when I can.

ah, yes a lynx can stove, i've made one that i use with a hexi cooker, works quite well and very compact but i'm still looking for that "all in one" set up rather than have lots of bits in bags if you see what i mean. ( bag for stove and fuel, gas or meths, bag for food, bag for wind shield ) just thinking that the swedish army set up, if it has enough storeage in the top would be a "one container holds all" set up ( apart from water of course )

Hi,
The SAT will do all you want of it, isn't that much heavier than the alu one, you can store grub in it (I use sealable plastic bags to avoid any taint from the meths + keep the burner in this bag). I don't store meths in the burner and keep the meths bottle on my person or in the pack depending on the time of year. The SAT is robust, effective and versatile.

Enough convincing? Go on............you know your worth it...........

 

[drewdunnrespect]

There Ausome so go on u know u want to

 

[bilmo-p5]

Don't care for 'em , meself, bit on the heavy side for me, but if you want it, buy it!
Put up with the wife-grief & when you find it's not quite what you're after, trade it on.

The SAAC (Swedish Army Alcohol Cookset, not a Trangia) are great pans to use over a fire with a mediocre burner as backup...but they are cheap and worth the money if only for the stainless steel pot and lid.

i just need convincing that the rollocking from SWMBO will be worth it

It would be worth it, love mine, replaced mine with a zebra billy and a honey stove, but still not convinced its better than the SAT.

Its a cracking compact set, get the plastic kuska in with the set and away you go. (meths bottle is not the best and wouldnt trust it to not leak)
Inside mine i keep the kuska at the bottom with the burner in, pot grabs, spork, lighter, a bag of coffees and sugars etc. with a water bottle and some meths your good to go.

Last outing it had.
brewing up with the meths burner

Over the fire

Cottage Pie

Great bit of kit and has never let me down. its not the smallest, but you can fit a lot in it and have it ready to go.

Hi,
Agree about the meths bottle - I use a hip flask = and although the army burner is adequate, the civvy or Tatonka is much better. In fact the Tatonka is better than the civvy Trangia in my opinion.

Are we convincing you yet..........?

 

[jacko1066]

I have the swedish army trangia and its brilliant!!!! Defo get the civvy burner though, the simmer ring is a very very handy bit of kit!!! Also I was given some great advice of puttinh the burner and meths bottle inside zip lock bags, it stops the smell/taste of meths getting inside the billy can!! Its not been mentioned here but if you cant light a fire or use the burner you can build a small fire in the wind shield although it does take some tendering!!!
Extremely versatile robust compact cheap as chips kit!!
I got mine unissued for £10!! cant beat it mate!!
All the best
Steve
