Great to see you and Ollie having a good walk and lunch together I know what it’s like to have a dog that walks and walks forever Just finished her last walk at 8 o’clock tonight ( second dump of the day required) Enjoyed the video Mick, g lad you like your new set up Happy days Regards Jeff
@greyhikes5236 hahaha, yeh Trangia are a bit of an institution lol, I loved mine. I just didn't like its totally non-stick properties, even water stuck 🤣🤣
I bought this kit and sent it back after using it one time. The tabs would be too easy to lose, the "windscreen" didn't block the wind (more than doubled the cook time with a spirit burner), and the locking tabs to hold the upper to the lower would be too easy to bend out of shape. Cheap junk kit to be fair. I'll stick with my Trangia. Also, Trangia also has a nonstick pan. It just depends on which kit number you buy
@chado_outdoors hey thanks for taking the time to comment really appreciate it 👌 I totally agree with you about the pot holders, who ever decided to do that needs sacking !! I've not used it with the spirit burner so can't comment about that, but Andy Wardle has the spirit burner set and he seems to love it, I'm not saying it's perfect but I certainly wouldn't call it junk either 👍
Great video as always Mick. Some lovely scenery too. I'm not so sure about the stove though, but that could just be my preference for a compact alcohol stove, and being too lazy to cook anything more than basic meals when I'm camping 🤣
I agree about the trangia pots they are not for me I use the burner quite a bit and the mess tin for rice and noodles, but it's barely thicker than foil and a plast spork scratches it lol.
Decent bit of kit Mick, but the "very lose-able pot stands" are not a patch on the Trangia model of hinged pot stands. I have a Trangia 27 set and use the Trangia Spirit burner rather than gas. Problem being, it's just a bit bulky for back packing, so i tend to take it on day hikes and stick to the X boil for my wild camps
@alanbateson9275 couldn't agree more about the pot stands Alan, what possessed them to do them as loose fittings is beyond me, unless it would infringe on Trangia copyright 🤷♂️🤷♂️ thanks for taking the time to comment really appreciate it 😀 👍
Great video, good non stick pan and cooker. We have got the robens which is similar, still haven't tried it out yet, so don't know how the non stick is on it. Made me hungry I better go and cook our tea 😂
@DebbieGeorge-wb5zb Hi Debbie, I looked at the Robens ages ago as I really liked the look of it, but I think they've discontinued them ? As you say very very similar even the finish if I recall rightly ? Xx
Great minds Mick. I took my little un mushroom hunting over the weekend. Found quite a few different varieties including a Scarlett waxcap and fly agaric. Great fun was had. How was the hurricane?!
@@Mickoutdoors definitely not! Rather make a little house for my purple gnome friend flying in the rainbow with my bibble bibble whoop whoop gurgle gurgle. I see dead people......
Spot on about foraging Fungi, dangerous game to play if you’ve no experience of it. Didn’t know you served Mick, what were you in? I’m Ex British Army ( Infantry ) RWF. Enjoy your Channel very much pal.
I don't like those pot holders not being attached. If you were miles from home you would be in trouble and if you lose them in the future when there not making the stove there's a good chance of them not being available any more. It doesn't look easy to improvise something either 😕.
@DavidDunn-breakinbadretrddad hiya Dave, yeh all good was my mums 1year memorial on Friday and what would've been her 87th birthday on Saturday (yesterday) so just been feeling a little sad, but how's you mate ? You recovering ok?
@@Mickoutdoors I'm recovered from my surgery and surviving... JUST surviving. Doc on Monday, then continued existence, lol. Never figured on making age 51, but that hits the day before Halloween. Sorry to hear about your mom, both my parents passed before any of my children got to meet them. My mom was an outdoor lover and I got the bug from her. Hugs from Utah, sir!
I don't see the point of it. The Trangia cook set is specifically designed with an alcohol burner and has solid sides, to prevent wind from affecting the flame. The set in this video does not have solid sides and comes with a gas burner. I only use a gas burner for camping which requires a lot of trekking, whereas the Trangia is for a local camp when I have all the time in the world to enjoy cooking a decent meal and not something out of a packet. I don't get the impression many other campers lug cook sets into the hills and mountains either, so that set seems to be attempting to fix an issue that never existed. Is it better than a system that works well for its intended design? Not in my opinion.
@peesua each to there own and you certainly have some very valid points, I don't see it as trying to fix a issue, rather than just offering a similar alternative, no reason why Trangia shouldn't have some competition, I've had trangia sets and loved them, but they are expensive and if your not careful or even careful the pans burn something chronic, even their non stick stick, but that's just my opinion 👍

@jeffprice2210 Thanks Jeff appreciated mate 👍 👌
Great video Mick looks a good bit of kit but you will have to pull my trangia out of my cold dead hands. 😂
@greyhikes5236 hahaha, yeh Trangia are a bit of an institution lol, I loved mine. I just didn't like its totally non-stick properties, even water stuck 🤣🤣
Here Here!!!! I mean out of my cold dead hands too. My non-stick trangia frying pan doesn't stick.Take care out there.
Love a bit of ollie 🐕❤

@IvanDP1967 haha I'm the same really Ivan, but I've been watching a few videos and the food their cooking sent me over the edge 😅 🤣
Great video Mick. Wardle does make some awesome looking food with that gear.
@sparker68 he goes proper full on doesn't he, all fresh ingredients the lot.

@PokeEyeSlapSlap hiya and thanks, yeh I served 12yrs in the R.A.F most of that was at the school of combat survival and rescue 👌👍
