In this video I demonstrate how I use a Trangia 27 to cook steak, garlic mushrooms and asparagus as part of my show us your steak challenge. This video is inspired by RU-vidr "Haze outdoors". #showusyoursteak #hilleberg #trangia
Great video! One thing that nobody seems to be aware of, is that you can use the base with a tea candle with the pot to keep it warm. Using a tea candle under the burner also makes it more efficient, since you're not using alcohol to heat it up. I heat the burner with the simmer ring closed and then light it only when the alcohol starts to boil. Heating a liquid is what the tea candle is for, you know. It's very efficient and lasts for a very long time and is very easy to carry since it automatically returns to solid fuel when it cools down. I find that just having the candle in the base actually provides comfortable light as well. Speaking of light; it's getting dark outside. Time to go fishing! :)
@@paulsmith3266: Hehe, but it's still useful. When it's very cold, you often can't even light the alcohol with a match, and although you could put it in your pants to warm it slightly, firing alcohol from the top is still very inefficient. And a t-light is very small, so it's useful to have. :)
The multidisc are, as mentioned, used as an strainer or cuttingboard and as a lid. But also you can clip it to the bottom of the stand to give it more surface area when using the stove on snow for it not to sink in, mayby not better known.
outdoor cooking is best cooking. especially in the cold i like to keep my trangia running because it's a convenient way to have a gist of a campfire with me. i like to watch the flame dance while i sip.
That has to be the best display of a trangia kit I have seen hear on you tube,I use gas but been thinking of getting a trangia for actually cooking on my wild camps as opposed to Boiling water for Dehydrated Mush, everything was really well explained, I feel that what Haze outdoors has done is a wonderful thing it has helped so many to not only talk but to feel they are not Alone, and to simply talk about how you are feeling and to be able to say you are not OK is a step in the right Direction, There is a definite and positive movement towards men's Mental Health and at 62 years of Age I can see how Attitudes have Changed in my lifetime towards men Speaking out about there state of mind, you have contributed with support for this important issue, Greatly Appreciated Thank you, ATB, Les.
wildcamping 150 Thank you Les, the Trangia is bullet proof and great to cook with, after a bit of practice. It’s not the lightest or smallest cook set and not the fastest but I’m not usually in a rush. Yes, Hazy has definitely helped bring things out a bit more. Us men are useless at opening up, it’s probably a biological thing that used to be overcome with pubs and Dutch courage. People are, more and more, staying behind closed doors these days and communicating electronically instead of getting outdoors. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Thanks for this video and speaking about this important subject. I've been suffering from depression and anxiety for years, and these crazy corona times isn't directly helping. Just got into small scale prepping to get some sense of control and composing a "survival bag" with the Trangia mini 28-t. Will try it in the woods asap. I imagine the possibilities cooking with wild berries and fresh picked mushrooms in late summer/autumn.
Great video, I have found in use that it's better to use just enough fuel for what you need to use and never fill past 3/4 full. to boil a litre of water I wouldn't use more than a 1/4 if that. Basically the lower the fuel level, the less fuel it has to heat up to bring the burner on full steam - just my observation and I used to use mine every day to cook my lunches and make drinks working on site :) cracking vid and keep up the good work
You are so right, I’ve been camping since my 20s, I’m 62 just retired to enjoy more camping trips, I even got the Trangia mini set so I can fly with minimal equipment and visit more parks. When I was younger and my job would stress my out, I actually used to say “ I’m going to see my shrink “ instead of I’m going camping. The magic of nature is just that, magic. Thanks for the great video I really enjoyed it.
I've been researching the Trangia 27. Really enjoyed your video. I must have one now. Spot on with your advice on depression. So true. If you help one person to understand this, you may have saved ones life. I lost an 18 yr. old grandson to this. If they hide their feelings, it's hard to help them. Thanks from the USA. Keep doing what you're doing, it's good for the soul.
Sky 3353 Thank you. I’m very sorry to hear about your Grandson. Men, in general, are not good at talking and expressing their feelings. I hope this film helps in some small way. The Trangia is a great cook system that I would recommend everyone to try. It takes a bit of getting used to but will last and is pretty much trouble free. Thank you for watching. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
I have been backpacking since the seventies and straight away I could see you knew your stuff. I started with an optimus paraffin pressure stove in about `77, heavy, but the heat output is amazing (i still use it), went to a petrol MSR draganfly after giving up on canister gas stoves, now thats getting a bit temperamental after 10 years hard use, just got a trangia 27 for my 65th xmas present, and will now give it a test in the garden before heading out next year. love your comment on mental health, remember taking a grumpy teenage relative for one night wildcamp in the lakes, twenty years later he still says how much he enjoyed it.
Cheers Steve. Merry Christmas mate. You can’t beat an old Trangia, not a lot to go wrong with them. I think, if people got out a bit more, they would feel much better. Leaving the phones etc behind for a bit. Take care, Jiffy 👍🏻
Great video. Reminds me of a 3 month bike tour living in an Akto and cooking on a Trangia 27. I cooked real food almost every night and did one steak dinner to celebrate my first border crossing. My kitchen included a small wooden spoon, a dedicated food knife ( Kuhon Rikon parer, yellow with sheath), a flexi plastic cutting and prep board, spray olive oil, a mini pepper grinder, salt herbs and spices. I used a leatherman to manipulate the simmer ring which you need to fine tune for real cooking. A full burner takes longer to temp. Some say never let it burn dry. I only did this once before flying. Beware of a fuel boilover/flameout. You need hot German rocket fuel and and a full burner. A few drops of water will tame fuel that is too concentrated. Dont wash the pots with small gravel, you can scratch the surface.
I was waiting to see how you managed to cut up your steak:) I agree with you about social media. It's all over us now. Take the power back! ...and go outside with no signal
A wonderful video regarding the use of the Trangia 27 Kit, and a beautiful message of caring for our fellow man, along with a message of hope! Thank you for all of this. You've done a great service for all of us, which I truly appreciate! Here's to better days ahead!
Good advice about putting mushrooms in hot pan, but even better, heat pan up before putting oil in, stops fat from degrading, as it does, the longer it’s kept hot. I think it makes the pan more “non-stick” a microscopic layer of oil will solidify on the hot metal, in a similar way to seasoning cast iron ( I heat my pans to the point where, if you flick some drops of water on, the water will bead up and “dance” on the surface rather than sizzle).
Completely agree with your words about mental health and just making space and time for yourself. It’s never easy because we come up with so many excuses not to do it. I’ve just returned from several days camping in the woodlands, simple life, just being part of nature and not the demanding world. It can be positively life changing.
Hello, ive just watched this. I ordered myself a trangia 25 yesterday. I appreciate your wise words towards the end of this video. I'm feeling a huge pull to go out for a night and just cook a nice meal and camp out somewhere - just as a start as never done that before at the age of 34. My wife is encouraging me to go for it. No idea where to go yet, but im excited. I think i will also just go and cook outside as you recommend as well. Why not. Thank you.
Thank you. If you’ve not been before, it might be best to try somewhere local or a place not far from where you park your car. If you then find that you have forgot something or change your mind, it’s not a long walk back. In this film, for example, my car was only about 400 meters away because I had work the next day. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
I think your advice to go out is really meaningful, to cook outside without stress and enjoy the meal is a superb experience, that is also why I like to go fishing... greetings from wild, wet, windy and wonderful Western Patagonia, Chile
ive got a trangia for xmas its brilliant i live in inverness highlands originally from neath south wales im ex serviceman i really enjoyed your video and the advice on mental health i find camping a great help for this condition thanks again fellow welshman
Been thinking about getting a trangia and this was so helpful, thanks boss :-) It also was truly touching to listen to you talk about men's mental health in such a quietly confident but powerful way. I hope your message reaches all the people who need to hear it.
Hello. I really enjoyed the video and tidbits of caring knowledge. I live in Northern Alberta Canada and never get tired of seeing someone enjoy the great outdoors, especially if food is involved with a Trangia. Thanks
I’ve been using a Svea123 and Sigg Tourister cook set since the mid-1960s; the stove is still running perfectly, but on a whim I ordered a Trangia 25 to play with-should be here in a couple days. I have the gas burner by Trangia as well. I do love my Hilleberg Soulo-ir replaced a mountain climbing tent also from the sixties-it simply would not wear out!
Kind of you to respond. Thank you. I find you enjoyable and relaxing to listen to. I miss doing what you are doing since I've become old and health reasons. I have so much camping and hiking gear that I could start my own Boy Scout Troop. I can't seem to part with it all yet in hopes that I will eventually get to use my gear someday again. This can be addictive as I'm sure you're aware of. I still collect more gear for some reason. It won't go to waste, I'll give it to my daughter that likes to hike and camp that lives in Alaska. Keep doing what you're doing and enjoy yourself. Don't get old is my advice. It sucks at times. Take care. I'll be watching for you. Liked and subscribed. Richard.
Nice video. I learned over the years that in my case lack of sleep or physical activity in the outdoors would make me feel depressed. Logically I could talk myself out of the depression as nothing was really wrong.
this is now my third replay at least! your presentation and voice is a great calming effect. I always carry a full bottle of fuel - (i would drop the meths out of the burner straight off ;)
This was the first video of yours that I have watched. An Excellent talk on the Trangias too. And A Big Thank You for talking Mental Health--that was Brilliant.
good words come out, and yes I like Trangia since it is how I learned to camp in the first place, but life can be hard at times and it not an illness to be sad and down at times, but if it comes from no reason it is time to get some help, my advice for gents that are down, be more ego, get a motorbike and do some solo camping, let the wife do her cafes and tv shows or even dancing, but also do stuff together but not all the time, well it might work for people who found a soulmate as a partner, but that is rare :D
WCW, you say it is a mental health issue. I am going to take issue and link it to the loss of belief in God, the breakdown of the family, etc. Great video! Very compassionate. Did you forget about your garlic paste and mustard in a tube?!
great video thanks! . I have the hard anodised pans they are much easier to clean than the original Aluminium ones. Don’t put them in the dishwasher when u get home! it totally destroys them . The coating disappears and the metal starts to wear thin. I tried dishwashing my old ones and they are fine. I also have the non stick pans which i use at home when i’m not camping they are fine in the dishwasher too. I also put the stove base and the windshield in the dishwasher and they came up like new after 15 yrs of use.
Wise words indeed. Seeing you has made me want to dig out my trangia 27, I haven't used it in years! But I will now, I loved it when I used it a lot, I have the same set but in red, and always found it to cook well and quickly. Oh well, off to dig around in the back of the shed now......ATB Dave
I have been using Trangia stoves for 30 plus years and I absolutely would not trade them for anything else. I am not certain that you are using the best alcohol for the stove. I looks to me that whatever you use has too much methanol which makes the flame way too hot! I have only used denatured alcohol, the best for me, available in most country and not expensive. In last minute desperate situation I did use anything that would produce a flame regretting it each time. The entire fuel cell will produce huge flames and burn everything inside and outside the pot! Just my 2 cents. Great demo anyway and good looking steak. Cheers
Patrick Cooper Thank you 🙏🏻. I use methylated spirits which I can get easily from my local garage. It’s worked fine for me for years and it is what I am used to using. I don’t see denatured alcohol around bit would give it a try if I can get hold of some. Love the Trangia cook system though. Probably the best overall cookset out there. Best wishes - Jiffy 👍🏻
@@WildCampingWelshman Hello Jiffy, it is definitely the best cooking set out there, at least for the 2 of us o:)). Give the denatured alcohol a try, you will be able to control the flame a bit more. I am glad I found your channel. Informative and relaxing. Cheers
@@WildCampingWelshman "Methylated spirits" and "denatured alcohol" are two different names for the exact same thing. You don't see "denatured alcohol" in your neck of the woods because it's called "methylated spirits" in the UK. In the US it is called "denatured alcohol". The only reason denatured alcohol / methylated spirits exists at all is because of evil government intrusion into people's lives. Otherwise you could simply buy pure ethanol cheaply (you can't because governments put excessive taxes on it), or make it yourself from corn, potatoes, rice, and so on (effectively illegal for Joe Citizen, because the government wants their extortion money), and use it as you see fit, i.e., to drink, as a fuel, or as a cleaner/solvent/degreaser/disinfectant. So governments "generously" allow people to buy relatively cheap ethanol without having to pay the ridiculously high taxes on drinking ethanol, but only if it's poisoned first ("denatured") so that you can't safely drink it.
i was worried about the little trangia burner not having enought firepower to cook, but seeing it burn the pan so much is good. just need to use the adjustable snuffer more.
Just came across you channel, great video. I love my Trangia 27 too and use it to cook both in the bush on hikes as well as at state parks camping. My kit has the alum pots and non-stick frying pan. One thing that I found is a must is a pair of nitrile rubber cut resistant gloves. Not only handy when processing wood, but also the rubber provides a little insulation after picking up the simmer ring and then sliding the cover down a bit. I'll go from boiling water (full power) to frying eggs and bacon (half power) so it's quick and easy to make the switch. You can also just quickly drop the simmer ring down on top of the burner and you are temporarily immune to the heat which I show in an early video of mine. +1 sub!
Well done such an excellent video, I also watch haze and I do hope he gave you a thumbs up, I myself have had a ropey patch and it helped going out with a friend walking. Was looking at trangia 25 ul for family cooking, I figure the more your outdoors the better your health. Thank you for making an excellent video on the trangia and how to use and supporting mens mental health, well done.
Hello mate it’s the first time I’ve watched your video and I like what I see mate not a clue on your name I’m a Welshman live up in Shropshire.a big well done love mate 👍👍👍
Last count I have 21 different camp stoves, and I keep coming back to the Trangia as they are so simple and virtually unbreakable, they may not be the quickest to boil water, but they can be used to actually cook food with. I own the 25 series which is a little big to use for one person motorcycle camping, , Trangia Mini, which can be used with Hexamine tablets for ultra lightweight , and the original military issue Trangia, I have just now bought the 27after watching this video for motorcycle camping. I have mates who are using their parents Trangia that are 50 years old +.
Really enjoyable video thanks for sharing 👍 think i will order this cookset , as have always used the trangia for last 10 years , thanks again and stay safe out there 🔥🏕☀️...colin 🏴
should have waited til end of vid to comment. cooking steak right on, mental health spot on, this vid is dense with info. great tent. disconnect now and then.
Mate, as simple as it looked you'd be amazed at the number of videos I've seen where people have dropped the simmer ring onto the burner without removing the windshield and missed. Brilliant tip! Great video. Subbed.
@@WildCampingWelshman quick question about the anodised fry pan, was it easy to clean afterwards? Thinking of getting this cook set to replace my old aluminium version. Cheers
After having a Trangia Mini for 5 years I've finally ordered a 27 with kettle. No anodising or coatings. I'm a boiler not a fryer. Tops video. +1 sub from Australia.
A difficult issue handled with great care. The statistics surrounding male suicide rates are truly staggering. These cooking set demos always make me feel hungry, I trust that steak was as a good as it looked. Another great watch
Good video. Trangia is very good stove. First Trangia builded almost 100 years ago. That consept work well today. But Trangia is made of aluminium so it can't use like twig stove. So i made my own multifuelt trangia type twig stove. It's not perfect because it is home made but working well with wood, spirit/alcohol and gas.
"Not Gordon Ramsay" thank God for that. You are far too polite! Great vid. I love my 27, just the basic aluminium, cleaning it isn't such a big deal and it's light.
Hi again.. i keep coming back watching your videos.. you do a fantastic job.. you mentioned you have the trangia 25 in the standard aluminium non anodized version.. i am planning on buying the standard aluminium non anodized 27 trangia. I hear the HA chips off.. i am a little hesitant on buying one at all since i heard there is a concern about aluminium cookware possibly being linked to a cause of alzheimer's.... i think i will take the chance on it. Not like il be using it every day.
as far as i know only non stick can chip off, if ha chips off it would mean you sliced off a piece of the pan which would be bad in all cases :p since ha is chemically or electrical bonded to the aluminum in stead of non stick which is a coating.
Great video. One tip, if you buy bioethanol from EBay (etc.) you won't get that toxic meths gunk (smell or residue). It's quite affordable too, I got a case of 6 x 1-litre bottles (£25). Fantastic stuff highly recommended. I got the "EcoFuel" brand.
It's a great idea to go somewhere you can completely disconnect from external contact, and even remove the temptation to 'just have a quick check' because it's not physically possible to get a signal! Regarding the cooker, do you intentionally not use this burner if you're cooking inside the porch area, given the risk of the flare ups?
@@WildCampingWelshman Ah of course, the carbon monoxide risk. I take a detector with me when using a wood stove in a hot tent, but did not think of it for such small burners - a very good point.
The face is cut off the camera. I just got a t27 cooking system for my base camp where I live full time for now. Watching videos about it so thank you for the instructions.
And, a Duossal version is available. I have the regular aluminum/aluminium version, and the nonstick one as well. One can clip these two together with binder clips, and use it like a small oven for (gluten-free) “trail bread.”
Such beautiful and comfortable countryside compared to where the Australian SASR do their selection, which is the harsh desert of Western Australia, just outside Perth...
@@WildCampingWelshman Yeah, that's also the problem with the desert. It'll be in the late forties during the day then drop down below zero overnight...
He DID say he forgot the seasoning... hence only the mustard!!! Though, I don't understand why ANYONE would put mustard on a steak? That's almost as bad a cooking a steak well done, and pouring ketchup onto it!!!
@@WildCampingWelshman I spent time, attached to 42 Commando at Bickleigh Barracks, and there were some English things just weren't agreeable... But, horseradish with beef is sublime!!! You want an awesome seasoning, try McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning... I don't know what they sell it as in the UK, but it's tasty!!!
