how much fuel to take - Swedish Army trianga

[yomperalex]

Hi all.

I''m off for a 4 day hike on Saturday, going to finally use my trianga with the spirit burner.

I don't have any time to do any trials, so any advice on how much meths to take - am planning on 3 x breakfast (nosh & brew), 3 x diner (nosh and brew) and 3 x brew.

TIA

A litre should do that easily and leave you room for emergency brews.

And - even if you do run out of fuel - you can use the windshield as a wood-burner! Turns it a lovely coppery colour and becomes a bit more "flexible", but still good for decades more use afterwards.

Actually, as far as meths goes, I'd take more than 1 litre. Whilst it should be enough, I find that I often have it on the go for additional brews (love my tea, me!). Put another 500ml in "just in case".........

I vote for one litre

1.5 litres for me. better safe then sorry.

1 litre for a proper Trangia, 1.5 - 2 litre for the Swedish Army alcohol cooksets. Real Trangia's are far more fuel efficient.

It really depends on exactly what you are cooking, nosh to me is fresh food, to others it a can of All Day Breakfast.
