the highlander brass meths stove is a very good bit of kit, its light very sturdy and small so its ideal for taking camping and cooking on. its cooked me a few meals and burns a good hot flame. one of the best things about this stove is that the fuel is cheap so was the stove it cost me only £5 from ebay, and at that price and the great build quallity of this stove its hard to see why you would not want to buy this stove. the boil time in minimal wind was around 7 mins so not too bad at all in my opinion, and the stove comes with a snuffer to snuff out the flame and it all fits together and is amazingly compact. this stove looks alot like the trangia stove but its not as good as a trangia. all in all this stove is compact light and cheap plus the fuel is cheap too.
i give this stove an 8 out of ten its cheap light and compact but the build could be a little better
go out and camp everyone and have a great day!

camping and bushcraft how to know what you will need
when camping or going out to do bushcraft its important to have the right kit for the job, so i put together this little guide for all you beginners out there to try and help you know what kit you will want or need.
ok so first things first you need to know the area you are going in and what the landscape is like and what sort of camping you are doing e.g. tent camping hammock camping rv camping ect... if you are going regular tent camping or using a tarp then its important to have the correct kit for example if you tent camp and have no under mat or a bad under mat then it will be a bad night for you and you will be tired and in the morning and for most of the day as you will not of had sufficient sleep for the day ahead. so you need to make sure you have what you need for a good nights sleep.
also if you are planning on cooking then you will need a cook kit depending on your needs e.g. if its just you going then you buy a small kit if there are many more people then you buy accordingly. also you need to work out if you are bringing your own water or filtering it from a stream. plus there will be the food to take with you too and that will add weight to your kit.
if you are the person that wants to have like only the bare minimum kit then you need shelter water food and a way to make fire. the best way to make a fire as i said in my other post is to use a firesteel as these are waterproof and amazingly good at there job, if you know how to use it properly.
ok guys that was my little section on kit and how to know what you will need please comment if you want more on the kit or if you want to know about my kit thanks for reading guys and gals
