Canoe with a View : : Canadian Open Canoe forum

Hi all,

Both of the girls are doing their Youth Test for the Camping and Caravan Club Youth Section ( North Warwick District Association ) and have both requested trangia cookers with kettles any body know of some at a reasonable price? ie cheap.
Have a look in the shed any where i need these the kids are driving me mad, last week end they had one of the training sessions where they used several cookers and made their minds up Trangia is the way forwards.
Next year they want to go to Finland with the youth group. This year the youth group went to Italy for Easter and the year before the Caribeean as they hadn't passed there tests they where unable to go.

Im now on the hunt for these now, just so i can have a quiet Easter next year.

You can contact me through this forum.

I'm not sure where you can get 'cheap' Trangia cooksets from, but Highlander make a Trangia 'clone' that sells for a whole lot less. Similar design (but not quite), with a brass Meths burner. I'm not sure how good they are, or what the build quality is like, but some reports are saying Trangia quality has dropped recently.

Worth a look, if you can find them.

I bought a meths burner set + frying pan in a neat bundle for £10 from Clas Olson in manchester[ dont know if theres 1 near to you ]but they get a good review on uk bushcraft website, maybe you could ask on there.

You could also try looking on the 'military' and cadet web-sites for the military version of the Trangia. I'm not sure what the prices are like, but they may be cheaper than the 'civilian' version.
