with a Pattern 58 canteen and hide for the time
of the transport to the canteen cover. One ne-
eds more space for this set.
The next, this time a positive change has been
increasing a volume of the mug – in the pre-
vious version it has had 0.75 litre and now it
comprises as much as 1 litre of fluids! I have
also liked the folded ears of the
mug, which – mutually interlocked
– holds comfortably and confiden-
tly. Additionally, they are so distant

cooking they do not heat up, with
what I have been surprised nicely.
A stove is slightly reconstructed,
too. Originally it has been low,
and in the new version it has been
equipped in the high, perforated
walls protecting from the wind.

I have two versions of the eco
fuel with a high caloric value for
the tests – one in the form of the
transparent gel supplied in the
plastic bottle with a volume of 250
mL and the second, in the form of
the cubes with a weight of 27 g.
What is interesting, a solid fuel has
exactly the same composition as
the gel one, and differs only with a
state of matter.
The fuel, both in the cubes, and in
the gel, is easy to ignite from the
sparks of the magnesium tourist

Unfortunately, in the period in which I have
been able to test a stove, the weather has not
pampered me with the extreme conditions: it
has lacked froze, snow, rain, wind… It's a pity
because such conditions would show the use-
fulness of the stove and – and probably first
