TRANGIA MINI UNBOXING + COOKED BREAKFAST Try-out | Alone in London Woods

[@barneysbimbles]

Nice one Ben, it's a great little cookset. I've cooked little Pizza Calzones on mine - I got the idea from @offthebeatenpot on here, he comes up with great little recipes for the trangia mini 👍

I’ve had my Trangia 25 for 28 years and it’s never let me down, brilliant kit

[@OutdoorsmanDave]

Oddly I found that very relaxing to watch someone else cook!

[@benhikescamps]

Glad to be of service Dave! 👍

[@fepowson]

Good to see you Ben, neat little carry, I've used my 25 for years, plus many other units over the years which I have. Life sadly hasn't allowed me to enjoy the great outdoors as in the old days, My wife's physical health has gone down hill since her spine operation a few years ago. I've now bought a wheelchair so at least I'll be able to get out for a walk with her :) You take care Ben, I'll catch up with your videos anon. Cheers.......Les

Cracking bit of kit Ben hope your doing well and family looking forward to your next camp out atvb bud,

[@marcelosilva6955]

I like this kind of practical and efficient stove.

[@benhikescamps]

Good stove. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@wahyueko305]

verry good legendary stove

[@benhikescamps]

It is! Thanks for watching.

[@GraysOutdoors]

Nice and early in the woods. Looks like a good system. Thanks for sharing Ben

[@dougdixonhull]

Great video Ben. I have the same Trangia mini and I also haven't used it yet. I'm thinking of a walk onto Spurn Head and a cheeky sausage sandwich 🥪.

[@benhikescamps]

Do it Doug!

[@cmanofthewoodscentralus3217]

Got one and really enjoy it. Thanks for Sharing. Stay Safe.

[@benhikescamps]

Thanks!

[@grahamscothern4319]

Looked a great sandwich ! I love my trangia mini used it at lunch today in the garden 👌👍

[@thomasmusso1147]

Nice 👍. On my Mini Trangia, I use the Simmer Ring when cooking and frying for a lower intensity burn and it's easier on the pan .. and eggs .. and fuel 😊. The Pot Gripper .. a plastic Cable Tie sized and trimmed to suit, turned inside out, keeps the pot grip jaws closed for easier storage. I have also cut a piece of Silicon Mat to fit inside the Pan. It provides additional protection for the pan non-stick surface and for under-surfaces 'sensitive' to heat .. as quite bit of heat can be transferred down through the Pot Holder / Windscreen. I have also added two of the bowls from a 70's 'Evernew' Aluminium Camping Bowl Set that slot nicely into the Trangia Pot with still enough room for the Windscreen, Burner, Pot Gripper, Mini Syringe (I like to travel with my burner empty) and a Tripod made from Bicycle Spokes and Thin Gauge Wire (this fits inside the Pot Stand for use with the smaller Camping Bowls). This, together with a 'Tatonka' 18cm SS Bowl (the Glacier version thereof is just as good) and the Lid from the Evernew Bowl Set, gives me a Cook Set with which I can do just about most things that come to mind. And, it all stacks together very nicely to boot. Thanks for sharing .. take care ..

Greetings from a Brit expat now living in sunny Malaysia🇲🇾. Your vids came up my YT feed today and watched this one - must be cos I just ordered a Trangia mini over here. Love the content and have subscribed. It's a tad warmer in my neck of the woods but wet at this time of year as it's our rainy season. Look forward to catching up with the backlog of your adventures and the new ones for this year. Take care and stay safe.

[@benhikescamps]

Hi Razif and many thanks for subscribing. 🙏Glad you’re liking the content too. Stay dry in your rainy season! ATB - Ben 🇬🇧

[@morrislouiseeagle7161]

yum fresh air and a bacon sarni for breakfast - can't beat that- had a trangia for years good bit of kit -sending regards x

[@paulsoutdooradventures1790]

That was great mate I love the fact that u got out the victoronix penknife to cut the sand which which looked awesome and tasty I’d like to get a mini Trangia myself thanks for sharing and that bird song at beginning was amazing

[@moyahaigh9593]

Another useful cooking demo. A cooked breakfast always goes down well Ben .

[@aabbushcraft]

Nice brekkie in the woods👍

[@DayTripperAdventures]

It’s always great cooking outside Ben. It’s amazing how you can forget about all work pressure etc. While you concentrate on your Trangia cooking bacon and egg sandwich 👍😄

[@lisantica842]

Enjoyed your video. Had to read in the comments what it was that you put on last. They say HP sauce, had to google it, never heard of it. I read the ingredients and it has everything I like, I'll try to see if I can find it here.

[@lenrice7482]

Cheers for posting this brother

[@treksntarps]

Love my trangia mini not ideal for a big meal but handy for a light little convenient cook set. 👍 nice vid take it easy fella .

[@mikefule]

Nice. I have 2 x T27 which I use regularly, and 1 x Mini Trangia. The Mini has never been used "for real". I've occasionally boiled some water with it as an experiment. On a windy day, that pot stand offers no protection, the burner goes into "afterburner" mode and the height of the flames can be quite alarming. Of course, you can use a separate windshield, but then you're losing the lightness and compactness that you bought the Mini for. I have found the least worst option with the Mini when it's windy is to use the simmer ring a lot more than on the T27. Better a small and safe flame and a slow cook than a roaring jet engine.

[@OffTheBeatenPot]

Gotta love a breakfast on the trangia mini. I often find myself reaching for it from my collection (yes I’m sad). Great choice of location too.

[@benhikescamps]

Haha love it. Many thanks for watching. 👍

[@SimonOutdoors]

Brilliant video mate, nothing like a decent bacon and egg sandwich! Love the Trangia stuff, great quality. Cheers, Si

Nice video Ben,finally someone who puts hp sauce on ,instead of tomato ketchup lol. Atb London Aussie Steve

[@treksntarps]

Nice little look at the trangia mini mate. I have one and I do like it , but can be a bit of a pain trying to keep stuff warm while your frying more. I have put stuff in the saucepan and put that on the frying pan and vice versa to keep bits warm as you continue cooking. Take care bud 👍

[@benhikescamps]

Yes, I think you have to be quite creative with how you use this bit of kit for sure! Thanks for watching :)

[@treksntarps]

No worries . Just realised I've already watched and commented on this one before 🤪😂 . Take care mate 😂👍

[@BourneOutside]

Blimey, I didn't even realise there was a Mini version. Food looked alright there, Ben. My favourite weekend lunch that. Perhaps I should invest in a set 😀👍

[@benhikescamps]

Go on, treat yourself Tim!

[@BourneOutside]

@@benhikescamps I think you’re right, Ben. I should 😁👍🏼

[@davidbrown8947]

Like you I just use the stove with crossbars. I think I'll give it ago. 👍

[@benhikescamps]

Handy those little crossbars. Sometimes tricky to get off when hot though!

[@Pwecko]

That looked like a very well worn path. I was surprised you didn't come across any dog walkers, even that early in the morning. I am hungry for a bacon and egg sandwich now.

[@HardyBunster]

I would of opted for a poached egg or two done in the pot. 👍

[@benhikescamps]

Maybe next time! Thanks Hardy.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Ben☺ trangia worked well, and you ended up whith a good breakfast, I was gifted an earlier version of the mini, whith a ordinary aluminium fry pan / lid, and food sticks every time I fry in it, can I get the none stick lid, or have you any tips please, thanks for telling video, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart uk

[@benhikescamps]

Hi Stuart. If I was buying a new Trangia kit, I’d definitely go for the non-stick version. I think you can buy the non-stick frying pan separately. You could then just swap out the older aluminium one. Many thanks for watching the video. 👍

[@stuartlockwood9645]

@@benhikescamps cheers Ben, many thanks for the reply, I'll look into getting a replacement, have a good wkend, Stuart uk.

[@marzsit9833]

i also have an older mini trangia with the uncoated fry pan, you can season the frypan with oil just like a cast iron pan and it will become non-stick as long as you treat it properly.

[@DaleyOutdoors]

Great video Ben 👍 I still need to try out my alcohol stove again, tried it once and it didn’t go too well but need to give it a second chance 😁

[@ukpaul9221]

In my view you were probably wise to leave it in its box and just use the burner. The packed size of the Mini is not massively smaller than the Trangia 27 which is much safer and far more flexible and robust. Another disadvantage of the Mini is that you lose 50%+ of the heat to the sides and the pan is too close to the burner making it harder to control the heat. The grub looked good but I'd put the stove back in the box. Best wishes - Paul - a Trangia-lover.

[@benhikescamps]

Thanks Paul. I’ve not actually used the Mini since I did this review. The burner gets regular outings though. Thanks for watching the video 👍

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

Nice location Ben, is that close to home for you?

[@benhikescamps]

Yep. Walking distance from my house. Becoming my new early morning escape!

[@marzsit9833]

sounds good to me, although here in the us we can only get streaky bacon.. there is canadian bacon that is similar to british bacon but doesn't taste quite right.... more like sweet ham than bacon.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

I’ve had a full trangia set for nearly a year and have never used all of it together either. Like you I tend to just take the burner. That one looks reasonably compact. Hope you’re well bud

[@benhikescamps]

Thanks Dan,. Just spotted your comment!

[@randomhato]

Beauty of 'nesting' sets is you do not have to nest as designed. I'd stuff the pot with the food and hide the burner and stand elsewhere in the pack. It's a great kit but you need to be clever with it to make it shine.

[@lawrencemcintosh]

Hi buddy great video I have that set myself it's a good bit of kit as a one person cook set atb lawrence

[@snorkherder]

Hi Ben, I own a couple of Trangia's my original is still in full use, I have spare burners, handles etc. Other than weight reduction I dont see the point of the "mini" it seems gimmicky and aimed purely at the light-weight camper end of the market. Nice Vid though, nothing like an early stride through the woodland and a hot beveridge :)

[@crazyhorsejohnny1974]

I’m curious, what do you find “gimmicky” about it ?

[@StevenSiew2]

@@crazyhorsejohnny1974 its size.

[@marzsit9833]

i also have several trangias, 27 and 25 as well as a couple of 28 minis and i don't find them to be "gimmicky" at all. small yes, but perfect for stashing in a rucksack for a dayhike when you might want a hot cup of tea or coffee or soup. yes, one could pack a jetboil or similar gas burning setup but the nice thing about the trangia is that it always works, is quiet and there are no disposable fuel canisters to deal with. surround the 28 mini with a simple windscreen made from aluminum foil that is stored wrapped around the fuel bottle with a rubber band and it will perform as well as a trangia 27 stormcooker.

[@johnw2758]

Nice demo......has anyone ever said you kook like George Micheal?
