CAMPING BASICS

 



Fuel & Fire:
 
- Gas Cylinders, Meths and Coleman Fuel etc.

Gas Cylinders, Meths and Coleman Fuel etc. In the shop we stock various gas cylinders, methylated spirits (for Trangias), and Coleman Fuel (for MSR etc). However, Post Office regulations forbid sending such flammable items by Royal Mail so we do not show them on this website. 




Karrimor Gosystem - Travel Power Pak (gas cylinder adaptor)

Travel Power Pak (gas cylinder adaptor) Clever plastic adaptor that allows you to use Bluet type pierceable gas cylinders on screw-threaded gas stoves. Needless to say this is invaluable in areas where screw-threaded gas cylinders are almost impossible to find, such as India, Pakistan and just about anywhere in France or Switzerland! It could save you a lot of money too. 275g.

Optimus - Burning Paste

Burning Paste 75g of meths based gel in an almost leakproof plastic bottle (we suggest wrapping well in plastic) (total weight 93g). Essential for expeditions using parafin-based fuels in their stoves such as aviation fuel, as the stove burner needs to be hot to get the fuel to vapourise before it will light. You can also use pure meths of course but might have trouble shipping it overseas. One bottle should last a two-man team between 3-5 days.

Sorry - this product is no longer made. We suggest trying firelighters as an alternative. 


Price: £4.50 [US$6.95] (Including VAT at 17.5%)
