In this third session, the campers were introduced to the Trangia cooking equipment. The children worked on their own or with a partner to figure out how the equipment fitted together and what all the bits were for. Once everyone was able to assemble the Trangias, they learned how to light them. Everybody had a go at striking matches safely and lighting the burners safely.
Before we knew it, it was time to pack the Trangias away, which took a bit of problem solving. Time flew by so fast that there wasn’t time to cook the noodles! We decided that it was more important that the children had all the time they needed to experiment with unpacking and lighting the cooking equipment. They are now well on their way to becoming competent and confident Trangia users.
Session #3 – Using the Trangia Stoves on PhotoPeach
When we next meet on Monday 9th of May, we shall continue practicing with the Trangias, and shall cook the noodles that we didn’t get to this week. The work on First Aid, originally scheduled for that session, will be covered during our over-night camp on 27th and 28th May.
Nice slideshow! Looking forward to eating noodles together! Good session!
