It seems as if you're on the verge of rationalising your kit but
haven't quite tipped over the edge toward "minimalism" as yet... don't
worry, its not a precipice ;-)
Frankly my urge to reduce the bulk of my trangia is 70 per cent for the
fun of doing it.
However if I had to define what I want to do I would do it thus:
Carry the bare minimum of kit I need to make tea+coffee and the
occasional vesta curry, consume from a BBQ, cut cheese/sausage etc
without compromising on the neat stowage the Trangia provides.
Quoted message said:Picking up from your earlier post(s), have you thought about reducing
your KnivesForksSpoons to KFS, or maybe even KS, or, heaven forbid
just S? ;-) It seems as if you're kitting for two so maybe KSS? There
may be other similare rationalisations you can apply to your kit....
I've pondered the KFS sets. Problem is I need two K+Fs from time to
time - steak off a BBQ or some such. We could probably ditch a spoon
'cos we never have soup but one spoon doesn't seem much of a saving.
I could just buy a mini trangia for £20 but where's the fun in that!
(Also there's damn all space in a mini trangia for tea bags coffee and
milk - ATM the Trangia is my entire kitchen all in one place and
together.)
