Paul from The Outdoor Adventure takes a look at the Military surplus stove/cook set called the Swiss Ranger. It is a solid fuel / alcohol stove that includes a 1 quart cup and 1 liter aluminum water bottle that can also be used to boil water. The stove can be picked up for around at places like cheaperthandirt.com. If you’re getting into hiking and backpacking and you don’t want to invest a lot up front it is definitely worth considering. www.theoutdooradventure.net

In this video I answer a request (many actually) to use Trioxane in my Swiss Ranger Volcano Stove. In the first and only test (you’ll see why at the end of the video) I use the bottle that came with the SRV stove.
