Trangia Army Stove, burner, fuel bottle & \"billy\" set

The Swedish (m/42) mess kit is a complete package. Similar in design to a German mess kit, but larger, it breaks into two halves: the first half contains the stand-windshield and a Trangia alcohol stove, while the other half contain two pots (one has a handle for suspending on hooks, the other has an extended handle) that are nested together. It can also store a fuel bottle. It's recommended that the fuel bottle and Trangia stove are stored separately outside the pots (since alcohol can otherwise seep out).

A mess kit is a collection of silverware and cookware used during camping and backpacking, as well as extended military campaigns.

While functionally similar to a one-person civilian mess kit, military mess kits are designed to be even more compact, using their space as efficiently as possible. Thus lids will almost always for preparing, cooking, and/or eating, and usually come in two or three pieces. This set is also known as enmanskök, kokkärl, messkit, field stove or field cooker.
