Cooking stove
▪ Red spirit is not really powerful. Therefore it will take a long time to melt snow, you can use in summer. –>Impractical in winter!
1 Bottle in winter lasts for 1 person for around 3 days.
Before you use it mix it with 10% water –> the pots don’t get black!
▪ a bottle with lamp oil is more powerful then red spirit. But you need a special Adapter and it can spill when opened.
▪ to use Gas you also need a gas adapter. But if you keep the Gas cartridge warm (during the night keep it in your sleeping bag, carry it close to your Body when arriving at the campsite and put it into some warm water while cooking) –> if you note this gas has a lot power even in winter!
For winter don’t use a water mix, use a winter mix with butane and propane.
1 bottle of gas lasts around for 3 days for one person in the winter.
