You must be a "friend" of crisis scenarios and Survivalism, into a sound equipment for "the big three, light, heat and food preparation to invest - the occasional use of a hunting lodge or a bed pulpit is enough to be wondering about it. The following are some proven and discussed in particular solid product. Of course there are each competing product, The above are but personally tested on the heart and kidneys.
heat
most critical, not only because of the experience value of a stay "out there" but also in terms of health, the preservation and production of heat. While you can use to obtain of body heat (in addition to warm clothing), sleeping and sitting bags, blankets and, if necessary, associated beds are used, (especially next to hot food and drinks) tent and paraffin stoves heat production .
producers which supply the modern day armed forces for some extreme locations and therefore not only more (today picky) procurement authorities, but also many thousands of soldiers in some intensive Use must satisfy come naturally to the short list - such as sleeping bags. Carinthia supplied not only the sports and leisure market, but including the armed forces of Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Finland and Sweden with bivouac bags, cold and wetness protection clothing and sleeping bags for different climate zones. The dual-use program is usually available including the color of olive. Here the system is to be considered from the sleeping bag, "tropical" (130 €) with a comfort level of 5 degrees Celsius (-12 degrees extreme value) and specific respiratory activity and the sleeping bag "Defence 4 (150 Euro) with a comfort value of -15 degrees (-38 degrees extreme value). The two products are provided both for separate use, and for a combination that produces a comfort value of -35 degrees (-45 degrees extreme value).
A equipped with a bed or cot Hunting Lodge may also make do with one or more appropriate blanket. Few products are as durable, big and cheap as the market available (unused) blankets the Bundeswehr. At a size of 2.0 mx 2.1 m they are now for 20 to 25 € mint trading at military outfitters and shops.
Zeltöfen are now also available as new from military stocks. Its use in closed and unventilated rooms is not safe and they should not be used in place of a small fire system, which must be approved by the chimney and removed. For these furnaces speaks not only that they are heated with wood (which can be obtained in each area relatively straightforward - but is necessary for the long storage period of one year or obtaining to refer a good heating value) and light (and therefore mobile), but also its price. Already some 150 € today a late model copy along with furnace tubes is to get (must be followed during operation including fire and Rauchgasvergiftungefahren).
more powerful, but also paraffin stoves are more vulnerable such as those sold in hardware stores. For use in enclosed areas meet the same restrictions.
light
comes in second place in meaning, the question of light. It should not be about to buy a special lamp for seeking, to the respect set brightness, color of light (preservation of night vision and optimum welding performance) and easy to handle (eg, at the same time as a short weapon) to special requirements.
It is about the illumination of a cabin or a campsite, regardless of electricity. Even if a Petromax as a former piece of equipment of the Bundeswehr memories of military service, and awakens nostalgic looks, has a "North Star" by Coleman (the petrol version - there is also a propane version) worked for 120 to 140 euros. The smaller petrol lamps from Coleman are far less robust and less bright, the North Star consumes 2 kg weight with a liter of unleaded gasoline for seven to 14 hours of light and generates up to 200 watts. It is robust enough to withstand a fairly rough treatment in the field. The lamp is so popular that it attributes a number of loss leaders for around 120 € is. Usually, the North Star is sold out but just by chance. Known providers should therefore be preferred - even in terms of spare parts (eg mantle and fuel pump) and warranty.
The kerosene lamps of fire hand, of course, also proved in a galvanized form is already available for around 12 €. If you add about 2 € for a liter of petrol or (worse, because more carbon fouling), lamp oil investing, you know why it has Feuerhand already brought to the piece of equipment of the army of Kaiser Wilhelm: The lamp is cheap, very solid and burns exceptionally cheap. A couple of replacement wicks are the only spare parts that for years are needed. But the lamp is for some activities and not just bright enough larger rooms (up to 20 hours, she burns with a little over 0.3 liters of kerosene) and thus supplements the "North Star", and not replace. It weighs only about 500 grams and costs in the simplest version, only about 12 €.
Finally, it is not done with one (or two) stationary lamps. You need a reliable car and for walks in the light (from the car to the cabin, etc.). Despite all the LED technology and other innovations is a manufacturer of "traditional flashlights" still reliable: On Maglite from the U.S.. The lamps are rugged, can with a simple plastic attachment to a light stick (traffic accident, distress signal) converted to serve the way (even without strange jagged edge) is quite legal for self-defense (especially the heavy models with 3 or 4 D-cell batteries; they weigh without batteries 300 grams) and are 40 to 50 € so cheap that one of them ever leave lying around (one in each car, in the cabin, garage, etc.) - so that there are necessary spare parts and always have stock the same batteries.
There
food
Although it before each one better hunting cabin fire, but first, it is not pleasant at any time of year and day, on some food takes to prepare, second, third, it long and weary of preparation, the "grilling" at some point (especially if it is at home still runs) and limited the possible methods of preparation.
If you still want to cook over an open fire, you set this one best get a Dutch Oven (on best a noble product of Lodge ) or a South African Potije (both are sold, including a competent and comprehensive advice to Carsten Bothe ). Cheap versions of cast iron dubious origin are not recommended. Although this is the use of cast-iron pots require some practice, but is it worth to books such as "on fire. Grilling, frying, boiling," or "the great Dutch Oven Cookbook" draw (both by Carsten Bothe) to take counsel and cooking to try out a few times. Bothe also sent complimentary small guide books. While cooking with these pots is relatively cumbersome, but provides an exciting and social experience is needed and only a wood fire and then water to clean (do not use soap). And finally: "work" in this cast-iron pots also, if weather or technical reasons nothing else works and they are virtually indestructible - not for nothing they were carried along in spite of its weight on the wagon of the pioneers in America or the South African Voortrekkers.
For all cases in which a faster cooking experience is required, offers the gasoline stove "Multi-Fuel" by Coleman to . If you want to do without the annoying guest cartridges (lead-free petrol is constantly and readily available and it burns with petroleum) and as for the gasoline lantern and a cook wants to stockpile only carry one fuel or (weight without fuel 600 grams), the "Multi Fuel your first choice. Above all, he is durable and solid than many other cooking - even as other Coleman products and it is easy to use. He is around 100 but considerably more expensive than your gas cooker.
Finally, there is a potentially surprising piece of equipment. The Swiss company Emmi has launched a collapsible mini raclette on the market, sold for around 13 € and folded no larger than a paperback book is. In that frame a coated rectangular "cup" of four candles is heated, heat to the man raclette cheese, then scrape with a wood scraper. It is surprising how little of the tea lights for a relatively quick preparation of three, four large "spreads" is required of melted cheese. Similar to the Dutch Oven or Potije this inexpensive device also offers a rich and diverse experience. About missing Saturation may be someone who has eaten three or four loaves of bread with as many servings of raclette cheese not complain, anyway.
way: we have received any donations from any of the manufacturer or test equipment (and of course, not after the day!).
