Accidentally a Trangia (gas version) yesterday. Now I can boil tea faster than an electric kettle in mildly hazardous conditions.

It's also filled with edges sharp enough that it took me quite a while to notice that I was leaking over everything. Ow.

(Short, uncontrolled posts. I mostly want to jabber about the Continuous Delivery book and Gitlab, or just stare into space.)

Sounds like the time Mark was cutting small squares of stone for a chess board, which is done under a stream of cold water. He didn't feel the cuts until he saw the water was running red.
Exciting and cool but ow.

I love trangia.
Mine is a little hiking version, about 30 years old now - Runs on metho.
I've not used it for years, but Im pretty sure its still gathering dust along with my hiking gear.
