I was sorting out the loft and came across some old copies of TGO mag. Flicking through June 1981 i saw this add for LIGHTWEIGHT EQUIPMENT, how times have changed. LOL
I can remember those days. I had one as well, but not for very long as the well known Trangia replaced it. When i moved house i'm afraid it was sacrificed. What about the size of the rucksacks we carried to lug all this weight around. Frightening. I doubt i could even lift it up nowadays. The good old days eh!
I still have my one pint Primus stove - I fire her up every year and she starts first time. Very efficient, she is, too.
ReplyDeleteShe took me down the Pennine Way forty years ago when I was the tender age of fourteen!
There's a load of life in her yet! She still comes out to play when there's problems with gas in the village.
