My stuff 2...

As promised a review about my Trangia cooking Stove.
Weight:
- 860 grams
Materials:
- Aluminium
- Ultralight Hardanodized Aluminium
- Non-Stick

This is a great Cooking stove.
It is build by a swedish company who make this exact design since 1925.
The only difference are the materials these days.

The basic principle is that you cook on Ethanol or Methanol.

It is possible to cook below -10°C if you prime it and it has no moving parts so it almost impossible to break down. You can cook in it if you plan a bit.
It's real easy and simple. You can buy Ethanol or Methanol in every scandinavian shop in every village. Good for me ;-). It may even works with strong vodka or anything else that has a high alcohol percentage. (above 70° is real minimum, above 90° is better)

Now the down points:
- Uses a bit much fuel in cold weather.
- You can't adjust the flame that much.
- if you go to real cold weather (polar like) it won't work. Than you can better use Gasoline in special stoves.

But after all I love it so much. It's easy ,just so simple and so sturdy. Used it a lot of times and always did it do the job. Perfect and amazing.

PS: Just BUY it :-D

What to do?

After 12 years of education I started to study photography at College.
The year started nice and sweet. But after like 6 months I started to doubt if I made the right chose.

I was looking for something more in life. Then I heard about the Kungsleden.
Its a hiking trail in the northern of sweden. (440 km)
I started to look up some info and got really interested in it. You could say I almost started packing. But as always life isn't that simple. Society sadly wants you to have a degree.

Now I am really torned between 2 worlds: School and Travel.

When shall we know what the most important is: School or life experience?
