Guest rxbrumby Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I am starting to do some longer navs and are now thinking of doing some overnight trips. At the moment I have a lightweight tent and hiking sleeping bags(from my canoe camping trips). With two adults on board I can only carry up to 10kgs with full fuel(50L). When I travel by myself or with my 7 year old I can carry alot more. I am working in putting some under seat storage for several 5L fuel cans to extend range When carring my daughter. When by myself I can carry 2 20L fuel cans in a bracket I'm making to replace the pax seat. What kind of stove do you use? I have a small metho burner but it is slow and you need to carry a bottle of metho. From memory you cannot carry aerosol cans in the aircraft so I cant take my butane cooker. Can you still get petrol fueled stoves, I know they use to use them in the snow as gas stove dont like freezing cold. Thank you for any input, and I hope to see some of you guys in the future on my travels. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelorus32 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 The stove you want is this one: http://www.msrgear.com/stoves/dragonfly.asp Despite what MSR say you can also use it with leaded fuel - AvGas. It is a great stove, very light and you simply fill it from the wing drains and empty it before loading it next morning. Those guys also make great lightweight tents.
