You may find reading the paragraphs below interesting, as it
could help you prepare for the trip.
Miniature Gas Stove
This item comes in very handy for those people who would like a cup of tea
or coffee either early in the morning or at various times during the day.
The porters will have hot water in the morning and at night, however, it
takes time to light the fire and boil a big pot. The smoke adds to the
taste. Most dehydrated food takes a ten minute reconstitution time during
which time the food will cool down. The gas stove is ideal for a quick
reheat. One stove per group of eight will be sufficient as not all people
drink hot beverages.
Miniature Gas Light
The light shown, picture attached, proved extremely beneficial during a
Kokoda trip last year. It is self lighting and for its size produces good
illumination. Reveille most mornings is at 0530 hours when it is still
dark. The light being self igniting is most beneficial at this time. One
per group would suffice however if your wish to play cards at night then
two would be better
Gas
The gas cylinders for these will have to be purchased at Port Moresby which will be organized by
our company. Because these cylinders cannot be taken aboard aircraft they
can only be used on a north bound trip from Owers' Corner to Kokoda
Please note shown above are some cooking and serving
dishes. They are very small and lightweight, and are great to put some more
fragile items in (eggs, gas lamp, etc.).
There is a great variety of camping utilities and knives. Any of them will
be good as long as it serves your purpose, but it is better to make sure
that your knife will have a safely retractable blade, and will be small
enough to fit in your pocket.
Below is the picture of my old favourite that I take with me on every
trekking adventure.
