Hi All, Just had a fun little weekend car camping and trying out a bunch of stoves, so thought about putting them up here. Primus Omnilite Primus Omnifuel Primus ETA Power EF Trangia 25-2 - w/ Trangia alcohol - w/ Trangia X2 British Army Cooker No. 12 Optimus Hiker+ Soto STG-10
Yes, that is the gsi 32oz kettle in the 25-2. Maybe we have different ones, as this one sits in great.
You're my kind of camper. I can tell by the size of that Rib-Eye steak sizzling in a cast iron pan on a classic stove surrounded by Bud Light cans! Thanks for sharing. Makes me wish I'd been there.
There was only two of us....we cooked more than we could eat. Coulda used the help in finishing off the food. But it was stove testing, which isn't a proper test without some real world cookin'. Woulda liked to chop up that lobster of your's and throw it in a pan to add to the fried pasta.
Ben, I love you man and would enjoy going to a park for such a drink even better if u entertained w/fresh-catch seafood BUT. You know there's a but... but I prefer the OP's pics of "camping" as your image is not a depiction of a "campout", proper or otherwise imo. I don't intend to offend you but MORESO broaden viewpoint on US "camping" topic. To our global readers, proper or not, re campout, in MANY of the greatest camping areas in the US there are not cement parking stoppers anywhere near our campgrounds. Vehicle use, alcohol use and potential for broken "glass" are a concern in our wilderness and limited to various degrees. jus sayin, wouldn't want to give wrong impression of campout. MANY private campgrounds can be flat boring, parking stoppers and unlimited drunkenness (call that proper if u like) but it is not so in our "US" public lands, camp sites or wilderness areas. jus sayin thx omc
OMC, Opinions vary, YMMV, "To each Their Own", etc. If everyone went into the wilderness, then it wouldn't be quiet when I shut my SVEA 123 off. Ken in NC
Ken, Ben, I have a point in there somewhere but sorry, yes I should lighten up too. thx, the flawed omc
OleManColeman - Point well taken and I couldn't agree with you more. We do a lot of camping on BLM land where you bring your own water and the toilet is an army shovel with a roll of toilet paper on the handle. However, even when camping primitive I always bring glass stemware for wine and martinis. Martinis just aren't the same out of a Solo red cup. That photo was taken at Red Rock State Park out in the Mojave Desert of Southern California. It's not as bad as the concrete curb would indicate here's our campsite:
Um, a little off-topic but I've tried normal BUD and the above description fits well. Take something out to make it light and I'm not sure what would be left.
