>Maybe the trick is to convince the customs personnel that the >fuel deposit of the stove is made to carry alcohol, not kerosene. > The thing is, the Trangia doesn't even look like a stove -- no knobs or parts really. Just a little cup that fits into a windscreen. The fuel can really be carried in anything as the alcohol is just poured into the stove when needed. Maybe I should just carry the hooch in a whiskey bottle. Made in Sweden, Trangia has a site at http://www.trangia.se/ and yes, MSR does carry them in the US, but you rarely see the full stove sold anywhere MSR stoves are carried. I smell a conspiracy! The only place I know of that carries them in the midwest is Rutabaga in Madison. -Patrick -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Maun pmaun_at_bitstream.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Dec 16 1998 - 15:22:25 PST
