Looks very good and handy, how does it hold up vs a crusader setup?

For £14 quid delivered it's a bloody bargain, we harked over these years ago in the army, top bit of kit.

 

[johnnythefox]

it was more the price for those on a budget [who isnt nowadays]
but it also looks like a good setup.
the video is very good the bloke sems to care about what he sells.

 

[nunzionuk]

I've ordered one.

It's about the right price. I think mine were about a tenner a couple of years back. If you search the old posts on here there was a LOT of discussion about 5 or 6 years ago, including ideas for packing, improving etc.

BUT....

if you type in sweedish army trangia on google images, they fit right down inside the wind shield....

if you look at the vid on that ebay thing... its not quite the same and it seems to sit very high...

Thats cos it's a hybrid Austrian/Swedish mix

yes.... but thats my point!!! hahaha. if it doesnt fit it doesnt fit! hybrid or no! if you want it to fit inside a pouch that the normal one will fit in then this is too tall!

The all swedish ones are like hens teeth now - I missed out on one last month and was gutted. But I'm modding my volcano stove now with a tatonka burner and a Glogg bottle to do a similar job. I believe the Austrian/Swedish hybrids do fit in the pouch - it just isn't elegant.

what is the pouch the SAT fits in?

Dunno - it was part of the deal I found - think it was a gas mask jobby.

Looking at the picture it looks like the hybrid?

I just sold mine on fleebay for £10. Excellent piece of kit but I got feb up with having to carry meths arround with me so I sold it and made a wood burner.
. But I would highly recommend it, jusy to let you know the meths burner is bigger than the trangia stove burners.

It's a bigger more versatile piece of kit. But that is the snag, it is bigger and heavier. Great bit of kit for longer trips, but you need to add a mug and get the civvy burner...

It all fits snugly inside, but only on the full Swedish version....

In all honesty though, as much as I think it's a cracking bit of kit, I've carried it much less since getting the Crusader.

http://www.endicotts.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1806 £10.95 new and complete from Endys, and I think that Endys may do a discount for BCUK full members (Feel free to correct me if I am wrong about this)

It looks like a good piece of kit, and is something I am looking to invest in

 

[johnnythefox]

seems even cheaper i would get the ones with the scuffs

Hi Walker, do you know if your stainless steel set has the same wind shield as the aluminium set? i managed to melt my aluminium set wind shield slightly using 2 small blocks of highlander hexamine when it was windy, the black paint burnt off and the metals turned a copper colour and its really soft now. I thought you could make a small wood fire in those??

im stuck now between ordering a new stainless set or buying a crusader set instead!
