    found a padded bag big enough to accommodate a 502

    no longer will my uncle's old stove be wrapped in an old pillowcase inside a plastic carrier bag

    larger than a standard bag

    got another for this old thing but I never use it - honest - no really - never

    Wow. Who knew there were specialty stove bags for carp anglers? Thanks for the tip.

    not for cooking the carp you understand - you are required to put them back

    That's a bit of a relief. Carp can taste pretty good, but I've always considered them to be fish with built-in toothpicks.

    Putting carp back? I thought getting rid of as many as possible was the idea....

    Over here all fishing methods are permitted for carp and you are not allowed to put them back. As long as no other fish are harmed even magneto and carbide fishing is allowed. Same with catfish

    sounds like they are an invasive species in nz - over here lake owners have a problem with Polish anglers who take the best fish home and EAT them
    considered very bad form I might add

    My grandfather said...
    If you cook a carp on a cedar plank, you throw the fish away and eat the cedar plank.

    Navy days S.O.S. was chipped beef on toast.
    Probably due to the brown color.

    It was chipped beef.
    It was NEVER as good as the recipe the marine sent you.
    Probably his own variation.

    I am sure there are many variations. Any variation that tastes good .... is probably not an original.

    As much as I do not always trust Wikipedia ...

    he did not claim to be an ex marine he was dealing in surplus equipment
    I do not care for corned beef - just the smell of it

    Not corned beef, chipped beef.

    "Chipped beef on toast" was one of our staple meals when I was a kid. I don't remember it as good or bad, but just salty, even though my mother rinsed it or whatever she did.

    Fed a fair amount of it to our kids some decades back. It was cheap, always on sale.

    I have a black nylon bag very similar to the Trakker. It just fits my 8R and other cooking gear seen in my avatar. Found in a thrift store, I did a reverse search on Google to find the source. Turned out to be part of an Evenflo baby bottle storage kit!

    padded cases are well worth finding - I have been after such a case for a 502 for a number of years, beats me why they make the bag that big, it is intended for coleman stoves popular with anglers but way too big for a modern stove

    Going to measure my Phoebus 725 - looks like a great bag in the lowest version for this stove. Unless better recommendations for the 725 should come up(?)
