when i was based in the Falklands i was sent to a isolated harbour (cant remember the name…it was 2 hour drive from MPA on the goose green road. for you that have been there)
any way…. there was 2 of us and we had run out of gas and hexi blocks as we had been there for 2 week and was only kitted up for a week stay.
we had some petrol and decided to decanter it to our “multi fuel” burner but spilt some on the floor (not much) any way we decided to light up and cook some muscles we had scavenged and a fish we caught.
we lit the burner and BOOM our room went up! me and my oppo just looked at each other for about 5 seconds before stamping the thing out! 3 day later we had had enough! phoned our mate back in MPA he managed to “borrow” a Land rover and came to rescue us at midnight! all because of snow!!
