TRUCKER--when it comes to survival gear i always suggest
avoiding any kind of home made gear--pop can stoves in this
case..Trangia makes several kinds of burner-potholder
combos..the stoves are time tested and can be carryed
fueled and ready to go and resealed if any fuel is left.
i would try and find the larger military Esbit stoves for
no other reason than they can still be used without the
fuel tabs..these stoves were prized by German Troops in WW2
because they could cook--read..heat coffee water..using any
burnable items at hand--straw..paper..having a dry surface
to light even a small fire on and a pot holder for a canteen
cup or old ration can was better than a fancy Primus type
stove with no fuel--
