Camping Reviews

Primus make 3 types of ground based stoved, this one is the cheepest one which runs from LP gas only… which is fine by me. It’s more ideal for long weekend / week camping cooking as it’s slightly larger than my other Primus stove and not quite as easy to use (more fiddley to link to gas and put away after use etc). It produces a nice hot flame, which makes for good cooking with larger pans, and it comes with a ground protector and wind shield. Great for toast. 🙂

I got the Primus EastLight Lantern for a weeks camping at the end of September ’06 as the nights were starting to draw in, but it was still warm enough to sit outside till late. There’s many lanterns on the market to choose from, most obviously the camping gaz ones… however since I had and abundance of LP gas for cooking it made sence to get a landern that could use the same gas. This lamp is ideal, it’s fairly small and lightweight, feels nice and safe to use (good pezo), and is pretty silent to use, whilst making a nice bright white light. Primus also do another lantern that’s more expenvie that’s very hardy, however I prefer the look and feel of this lantern even though is uses a mantle.
