That cookset looks sweet as well as the wooden flask.

That cookset looks sweet....

And, as a bonus; the 1.5 ltr kettle fits inside the smallest pot.

The Museums in Oslo certainly take some beating.

Worth the flight on their own in my opinion.

Great pics there, Pete. Nice one.

Finally made it back to Blighty. Will hopefully upload a few pics and some comments tomorrow. Many thanks to a great bunch of guys - sorry to disappoint you and not snuff it on the trip And a special thanks to our Norwegian colleagues who made the effort to come out and see us, and feed us some "interesting" trout!

I'd like to ask about the Swedish candle too, presumably it was quarter split right through then stuffed with kindling? Did it burn quicker and as evenly as the sawn ones with the increased air flow from the bottom?

Hi Sal, yes the log was quartered and stuck back together in the snow.

A piece of birch was "shaved" and the kindling placed in the gaps then lit with the assistance of a magic biscuit: http://www.kuenzi.com/tips_e.htm.

The burn wasn't even as the wind direction blew the heat/flames in one direction. It did the job required though.
