-20 this weekend my Trangia system worked perfectly! What did not work was my lighters. Two different bics both failed to even spark! Matches are a must at those temps, I found. I am 100% in love with the Trangia. A work of art!!
The pre-heater is quite expensive. Try using a small strip of paper - just dip one end in the fuel, light it and place it in the burner. You could also use a tea candle under the burner.
in the Atacama desert I used it at -20C, the problem though was lack of oxigen (at 4000m), not just the cold (though water bottles inside of our jackets got frozen solid that night) It was a very nice relief to drink a tea afterwards! At high altitudes and cold, gasoline stoves like the Whispy or my old Optimus Svea work best, otherwise I love Trangia and Firebox.
Good day to you. I am a senior rider on HONDA from Japan. Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading. This is so nice video! Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Have a nice day my friend!!
Well done, thank you, interesting to see the winter attachment in action and how it performs in cold weather, something that challenges all stoves regardless of fuel type. If your only after a coffee on the trail, perhaps a thermos might be the answer so your bride doesn’t think your crazy. I do the same things, I’m not one to judge and after 35 years my bride still keeps me company on the trail but occasionally shakes her head. Happy trails!
Oops, ...If your only after a coffee..." an all too common mistake. It should be you're or you are.

Light the pre burner first and after a while you can see the vapour coming from the main burner then light it. Lift the handle on your kettle first as it may become to hot to touch. 🙂
Ur wife is not the only one that thinks ur crazy 😜 but thank u for ur sacrifice. It’s nice to know that the trangia can still function in those extreme temps 👍
I do have the preheater and agree it works very well, but I had trouble fitting it in a couple stove stands I sometimes use. I usually just carry a bunch of cotton balls with me now. Drop one in, give it a few seconds to soak, then hit it with a fire steel. Coldest I've done that at was -27C. :)
@@mrcvry Haha, that's a perfect cook for the Trangia! Please do and show us the recipe and result. We can't get enough of outdoor cooking in this community 😁👍
Probably -25ish Celsius and lots of wind... anyway it was so cold that my hot drink in plasti cup got a frozen sheet of ice before I got the rest of the food, standing i line 🤣
Hey this was a great instructional. How would you feel about depending on this system on a 10 day trip with temps like what you’re experiencing in the video. Melting snow for cooking and drinking water everyday of the trip, cooking in general and just whatever else goes along with needing a stove in a deep winter trip. Thanks man.
Yes. A very unusual situation, when mathematics seems to make sure we get even more confused! ➡-40c SOUNDS warmer than-40f, but indeed they are equal❗🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 🙄

nice tip - thanks
Pre-heater somewhere around $6-8 worth every penny, saves messing about with bits of paper, string or candles! Regards from a very warm U.K. at -1c😂
Canada $35! Set the burner on an alcohol soaked price of fibre glass. Paper works faster and weighs a gram.
What a genius idea I’m guessing nobody has thought of that before
Use a long matches and leave the match inside

Thanks for sharing, great having feed back
Trangia have a multi fuel insert so you can use gasoline with their kit.
@@mangethegamer yes I know that device, but when you already own a Svea... this can get too expensive
Good day to you.

This is so nice video!
Awesome!!
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Have a nice day my friend!!
Just got mine, it hasn't been used yet warm or cold. Thanks for sharing this, your pre-heating seemed to work very well!
Ty watching, you will enjoy owning one and using it. Its a wonderful piece of equipment.
In central Australia usually use mine in + 48c.
S G I melt at 30 Celsius lol

Preburner was lit first, thank you for the comments😃

-30 without winter attachment took along time to get going. Couple years ago it was-60c in Saskatchewan.
-60 is insane cold for sure, coldest for me has been -50 ouch!!
-38 C or Fahrenheit. That low does it really matter. 😊

Good to see it works in that chill!
Mattias Eriksson It’s a awesome attachment!

Now I want to make chili! 🤦🏻♂️

try this method. don't know if it will work at that extreme temp., but it works for me around 10 F.
use tiny bit of toilet paper as a wick !
Great video,hello from northern ontario. Is there a lag in video,almost seems like slomo?
Len Ward may have been my camera acting up because of the extreme cold. Ty for watching and commenting.
Good show thanks
Willis Blevins Thanks so much!

Like your kettle, never seen one like that before, is it a Trangia ? Or, is it another brand ?
Nicely done ✔✔✔
📢 ➡BTW -38 C is roughly -38 F ❗🤔🤔🤔
ty for watching!

Google calculator says -38 Celsius = -36.4 Fahrenheit. Brrr!
No more videos. I started this yea with 59 subs. I'm up to 5.2k 7 months into this yr. Start posting again
The bottom line you are enjoying life
how did you get the pot handle to fit into the kettle?
try with snow! and maybe a pint of fuel.....I am sure the mighty trangia would do it!
👑👍
About plus 10 C for me. :))
a 27 duossal....
Filmed with a potato ... :D
