yep, it's a mini trangia mess tin.
The only thing I have not done - and should have done <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> - is test the thing !
I will asap buy another mini trangia and actually use it to boil water with that emergency stove, to check the true efficacity of those solid fuel tabs.
(I have successfully used them, but with a smaller container)
As a matter of fact, I used a larger trangia mess tin (20 x 13 x 7 cm) to assemble another kit for a friend. It contains a bit more gear and some medicinal items.
I gave him before thinking of taking pictures ... and before deliberatly finishing it.
This friend is not a walker (or only occasionnaly), but a true sea fanatic ; owner of a sail boat and a motorboat ; with an secondary house on an small Atlantic island (yeah ... he did well before retiring ..; <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )
When I gave him that PSK, I had an interesting discussion with him, about security/emergency matters, on land and on sea... It's not something he really thought about up to now.
With his familly, he spends about 2-3 weeks a year in the Alps mountains, mainly skiing in winter or making half-day walks, in winter or summer time.
Apart a bottle of water and some biscuits, his - small - rucksack is quite empty on those occasions.... I suggested adding the new PSK.
He spends much more time on sea ... but he only has the mandatory safety items aboard his boats. Here also, I suggested a more comprehensive kit or at least the tangria PSK.
I will keep on discussing these matters with him, trying to coax him to permanently add gear (whistles, luminous signaling devices, aso ...) on the PFDs for example. Money should not be a concern for him, in respect to added safety, for him and his familly.
I already got a good point, on that score.
For Xmas 2000, I gave him a small one hand knife (an Outdoor Wedge I or II), and this knife once saved his day : he got caught by his fishing lines and having this knife at hand reach, enabled him to quickly cut the lines with his only free hand, before being dragged overboard.
Yes, I will definitively keep proding him, to shape the trangia PSK to his needs - IMHO a absolute requirement, if he is to use it att all - : get the ineffective medicinal items out of that kit, add some more gear (a fishing kit will be mandatory in his case), build a separate comprehensive FAK for the boats and a smaller one for the car....
Let's spread the good words ..... <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
