Actually they are steel D rings which fold down on the handle. Those clever Swedish folks at Trangia like to get little details right. I also like to keep a Titanium Mug (Lifeventure), Firesteel and plastic Spork inside the Trangia as well.

Getting the little details right on bushcraft/BOB kit really make the difference in saving time and energy. For example I should have set up the Basha Sheet before hand and used Prusik Knots to tension the sheet along the ridge line rope. The ridge line rope was a GITD type and the guy lines reflective 550 paracord so as not to trip over/walk into them during the night.

The reflective 550 cord is also very useful for the main fixed blade lanyard (Mod4 Survival Knife). I also have a Tritium marker on a main zipper on the back pack as well, where I keep a things like headlamps etc when kept next myself in the tent or under a Tarp.

Keeping the camp site organised in the dark can get a little tricky especially if the situation is highly stressful. Training for stress, such as being forgetful, clumsy and disorientated in the dark etc is simulated by consuming a bottle of wine during the evening.
